Marker Cars

Today I set up this amazing process art activity for Monkey. I knew he would be interested in doing it because it involves his absolute most favourite toys in the whole world... cars!! My boy plays with his cars for hours every day. 

I saw the idea here: http://www.housingaforest.com/drawing-with-cars/

Supplies: markers, cars, tape, paper

First, Monkey helped me get the markers taped on to the cars. He thought very carefully about which colour should be on each car. 

It wasn't easy to get the markers lined up perfectly so that they would write, but after some trial and error we figured it out. 

After rolling out a large piece of butcher paper on the table, Monkey was ready to go. 

He didn't waste a second! He got all the cars moving right away. 

He noticed that if a car sat for too long without moving it left a big dot. 

The markers needed lots of adjustments while Monkey was playing with them. He didn't seem to mind, and after I helped him a few times he was able to fix them on his own. 

The finished product doesn't look like anything in particular, but again, this art is about the process and not the final product.
