Marbling

Today's activity was all about Marbling, and no we did not use marbles. Marbling is the designs that you find in older style books on the inside cover.  What we did was use shaving cream and squirt paint into the cream.  After that you could use your hands or other tools to create different designs you wanted.  Then we were able to use our own drawings of different landmarks in the world to press firmly down into the paint-cream.  You then pick up your drawing and scrape off the extra shaving cream.  I had the Colosseum that is located in Rome, Italy.

**An extension activity for this project could be used in science.  Students would be able to use different colors to create camouflage of animals in the wild.
