Painting in a box

This was a fun activity the art teacher at my school came up with to do with our students......(I also saw this on Pinterest using a small, square cake pan and marbles).  We used ping pong balls and six different colors of paint in cups.  We dropped the balls in the paint and using tongs we helped our students scoop them out and place them in the box to create their masterpiece.  We had them hold the box on either side and shake it left and right, and then up and down, to totally fill the paper with the paint.  I think the turned out really nice......

the art teacher had a great idea for keeping the cups of paint organized and prevent tipping.  He put them in a plastic bin....it made it easy to bring the colors to each student and 6 colors fit perfectly!
 
our students were having so much fun during this activity that only a few required hand over hand assistance.  Once we showed them how to do it, they all participated really well. 
 
finished project, aren't they awesome....
