This is such a fun way to paint and could easily be done inside or outside.
You will need
A clean coffee can with lid
Paper
Paint
Marbles or similar
Scissors
To Make
1. Place the paper inside the can so it lines the walls - you may need to cut the paper so it fits
2. Cover 2 or 3 marbles in paint and place them in the can
3. Put the lid on the can
4. Time to paint
You could shake the can
You could roll the can
Or you could kick the can6. Optional - cut the painted paper into fun shapes these will be great for making cards
Don't forget to stop by Childhood 101 We Play where you can find lots of other great play ideas....

I wanted to see your finished paper - but what a delight to see the fun of playing with the can!
We have done marbel paining tons of times and never thought to do it in a can. That would save on the cleanup for sure
I have an award for you here:
