Marble painting spider webs

Marble painting is always a hit in preschools.  We hadn't done it yet - and I thought they would make cool spider webs.  I started out using these Ikea drawers, but after the first one we found that the marble just got stuck in the edges and only rolled around the perimeter.  So I dug out some box lids and they worked much better.

Getting the marbles to roll around on the paint is a lot trickier than it looks.  It takes a lot of hand eye coordination some major problem solving ,and some good old common sense to make a picture.  It was great watching the kids figure all that out.
