Painted Marble Candycane

 Kids love this and it always turns out!  You need a few things for this project:
a shoebox, construction paper cut in the shape of a canycane or any Christmas shape that fits inside the shoebox, paint, marbles, and plastic spoons.
Place the paper inside the shoebox.  Dip one marble into a small cup of paint.  Use the plastic spoon to pick up the marble and drop into the shoebox. This keeps fingers clean and kids like tying to pick up the marble. Repeat this for each color of paint you are using.  Once the marbles are in the shoebox tip the box back and forth so that the marbles move around the box making tracks.
