Painting with Sensory Balls

Materials

Construction paper
2-4 sensory balls

Directions

Pour paint into the bowls. Place 1-2 sensory balls in each bowl of paint. Lay a piece of construction paper on the bottom of the box. Using a spoon, drop 1-2 sensory balls from the paint into the box. Invite your child to shake and tilt the box. Observe.  Place the balls back in the paint.
