Marble PaintingsMaking in art in the winter with kids can sometimes be a challenge when you can’t go outside or you don’t have a lot of space in your home.

You will need: a box top (you can get these at the grocery store for free), marbles, washable paints, masking table, paper (thicker paper works better), plastic cups, and spoons.
