A Halloween Spin on Painting with Marbles

O and I put a Halloween spin on marble painting this afternoon :) I poured a blob of white paint on a sheet of black construction paper that was placed on a cookie sheet. We dropped the marble onto the paint, and O shook the pan to make a painting. It is supposed to look like a spiderweb. Now we need to make a spider to go with the web :)

    I am a fellow homeschooler, and just started a blog of my own...wanted to let you know that I love Chasing Cheerios, you have great ideas (I have already posted a link to your blog in one of my postings). Besides having great ideas, I think it is so awesome that you have kept up regular postings right after having a baby! Super Mom! :)

    Maybe dipping a piece of yarn in the paint an dragging it could create another spiderweb effect?

    I wonder what would happen if you dropped several marbles in the salad spinner while you did salad spinner art?
