Feel like you're losing your marbles trying to keep your kid entertained? Well, don't lose them—use them! Buy a bunch of big marbles, some craft paint and a cake pan and sit your kid down for some marble art.
  • White printer paper
  • A bunch of shooter marbles: the big kind
  • Craft paint: in lots of colors
  • Dixie cups: one per paint color
  • A cake pan or any rectangular dish that's a few inches deep and won't break
  • Plastic spoons
  • 1
    Pour a little paint into each paper cup.
  • 2
    Have your kid gently put a few marbles into each cup.
  • 3
    Put a piece of paper into the cake pan.
  • 4
    Have your kid scoop out some marbles with a plastic spoon and dump them into the cake pan.
  • 5
    Have him roll the marbles all around. The marbles will make a cool pattern on the paper.
  • 6
    Get him to try it with marbles dipped in all the different color paints for a truly unique art project.
