Roll roll roll the marble!

I'm sure many of you have tried marble painting before:

I was browsing through the internet and wow. So many different kinds of colour, medium and effects were created. 

I know how this activity is suitable for all age groups; even those 1-2 year olds! I've seen them at work before. Likewise, toddlers, preschoolers and primary school children love it too. I know I used to enjoy this activity A LOT! I've even done it in one of my tutes at uni as a way of teaching 'camaflouge'. We cut out a shape of our interest and placed it on top of the base A4 paper. Then rolled the marble on and peeled the shape that was hiding (image pasted later). I enjoyed it heaps!! I remember being told I was too focused on the activity...hahaha. 
 It might be a great idea for some of you to try it out as adults:p 

I wonder if the effects produced, changes when children get older because of their fine and gross motor capabilities... It might be interesting for me to compare in the future xD

I could do a quick one now:

Children's marble painting:

My marble painting at uni:

Hm. It seems like both lines created in the activity connote different emotions and effects... :) 

I wonder what your opinions on this argument would be!
