Place the template for the Christmas tree on a green piece of construction paper. Trace and cut out Christmas tree and place in plastic paint tree or bin.

Squeeze the paint into the paint cups with one color in each cup. You can use whatever paint colors you desire.

Drop a marble in each color of paint.

Use a spoon to roll the marble around in the paint to completely coat it. Then, scoop the marbles into the bin over the construction paper.

Instruct the children to move the bin or paint tray trying to roll the marbles over the template until the tree is covered with paint as much as they want it to be. Try to roll the marbles back and forth the width way to create a garland.

When done, carefully remove the painted paper to dry.

Attach the dry painting to another piece of construction paper using glue and allow it to dry.

Decorate the Christmas tree with gems or sequins if desired.
