Christmas baubles with rolling technique
#v16265
Use simple techniques to enable even the youngest children to make beautiful Christmas baubles and hearts! Use paint and a wooden bead to roll the finest patterns together with the children. The children strengthen their fine motor skills and sensory apparatus. Try it for yourself!

1 Open the ball/heart and add 2–3 drops of transparent paint in different colours in one half.
2 Add a wooden bead to the paint and close the ball/heart again.
3 Wrap masking tape around the ball/heart to seal tightly.
4 Roll the bead around in the paint so that the paint is mixed in patterns and distributed all over the inside.
5 Remove the tape, open the ball/heart and let the paint dry. Remove the wooden bead while the paint is wet.
6 Reassemble the two dried parts.
7 Pull the organza ribbon and satin string through the hole for hanging.
8 This idea is suitable for very young children as they can control the technique themselves without being smeared in paint when the ball/heart is sealed.
