Marble Painting Earths

Have circles cut out of blue construction paper to fit just inside of a pie pan. Have the children put a marble into some blue paint and into some green paint. Use a spoon to take it out... move the pie pan back and forth and create "an earth".. We then talk about what the green stands for and what the blue stands for. (I show them a globe first..and we talk about all the different names for the earth.)--ie...world...globe...earth...etc.
