Marble painting!

After a long day at nursery we headed over to a friends house for a bit of a play date.  Whilst there The mummy suggested we do some marble painting , it is something I haven't done with Arthur since he was about a year old, and I forgot how wonderful the results are.

It was a little bit hard for Arthur to not try and use the marbles as a paintbrush, so he got a bit covered in paint, but after some perseverance he soon started tipping the tray around and asking for more marbles and paint. 

It's such a simple idea, and works on his coordination as well as being simple and creative, I will definitely remember to do this more often, I don't know why I haven't done it for so long!!
