Marbleizing

Marbleizing is a fun activity that involves making pretty designs on paper or other surfaces that look like marble. To make marbleized paper, you need some special things like a pan, water, and paint or ink.

First, you fill the pan with water. Then, you take drops of paint or ink and put them into the water. This makes pretty colors spread out and look swirly in the water. You can use different colors to make the marbleized paper look really cool.

Next, you take a piece of paper and gently place it onto the surface of the water. The paint or ink will stick to the paper and make a design on it that looks like marble. You can do this over and over with different colors and paper to make a lot of pretty marbleized paper.

After you make your marbleized paper, you can use it for lots of different things! You can use it for art projects, book covers, or even just as pretty decorations. The possibilities are endless with marbleized paper!
