This is a great activity if your kids want to paint and you don’t want the mess…
What you need:
Container or tray with at least 5cm sides on it
Poster paint
Paper to fit in your chosen container
1 or 2 golf balls
Place dollops of your chosen colours onto the paper in the tray. Then place the golf balls into the tray.
Encourage your child to move the tray so as to roll the golf balls through the paint and around the paper to create great patterns.
Ta-da!
Love this, but i’m afraid my little person could not contain himself from throwing the golf balls! We have already had one visit from O’Briens 🙂
Hmmm yes, maybe you could try ping pong balls and water down the paint so its not as thick and the balls move through the paint?
I do this acivity using small marbles, as i find they are harder for little hands to pick up. 🙂
