Toddler Theme Thursday


This week's theme is black and white animals. The girls had so much fun marble painting last week when we did our handprint spiders that I thought we would use the same concept for zebras.

The only supplies you need are a cutout of a zebra, black paint, a marble, and a box to shake it in.

Just dip the marble in the paint and drop it in the box with the cutout. Have your child shake the box back and forth the create stripes with the marble.

Here is Madelyn's finished zebra. We can't wait to see all the other great ideas that you all come up with!

  3. This is awesome! I used to do a similar concept when I was a Stampin' Up demonstrator for background cardstock, it was called marble-ing. You would put 1-3 colors (just a few drops of each) in a clear stamp box with a couple of marbles and piece of cardstock and shake it around to make cool background paper. I love this blog - full of great ideas for a mom with a preschooler!
