Valentine Heart Marble Painting
At Hobson Preschool, they celebrated the recent Valentine's Day by making Valentine's hearts in a clever manner! They put pieces of paper shaped like hearts in a tub filled with paint, then shook marbles in the tub around to do some marble painting. It was a great activity to work on developing gross motor skills.
