Living on a golf course we find numerous golf balls in our backyard. You would think with our house at the tee box that having golf balls flying through the area towards our house would be minimal, but we must have some really bad golfers out on the course.
With all these extra golf balls and after seeing all the marble paintings on Pinterest, I thought we would try using golf balls to make a painting.
Supplies Needed
Paint – we used poster paint that cleans up with water
Golf Balls
Paper
Painters Tape
Cardboard box or plastic tote
How To
Take a cardboard box or plastic tote and tape a piece of paper on the bottom. Dip your golf ball in paint and then place in the cardboard box/plastic tote. Tilt and rock the cardboard box/plastic tote back and forth watching the golf ball roll around leaving paint on the paper.
Continue using golf balls dipped in different colors of paint until the master piece is complete. With the golf balls having a texture to them, have your child observe how the paint appears on the paper. You could test out different surface balls (ie: smooth, rough, etc) and see what pattern appears.
The end result a beautiful, fun painting!
Have you or your child used a fun item to paint with?

This looks like a really fun craft! I remember painting with marbles when I was a kid, but golf balls leave a neat texture!
Thank you Cole! I love the texture of the golf ball. It really is a pretty painting!
What a great craft project! It looks like this is a good way to keep the house clean at the same time :). Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jasmine!
I work with 1st graders and 6th-8th graders every day as a part of a summer camp and I have been trying to come up with some creative art projects for middle school group to help my 1st grade group with. This is definitely at the top of my list now! The painting looks really cool. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you Meagan! I hope your campers enjoy the art project!
Wow! Amazing what a golf ball can do! Very artistic and definitely fun to do.
Thank you Lux!
That a neat texture. My son did this with marbles when he was in kindergarten and loved it.
