Materials Needed:
- Red, Blue, Yellow paint
- Printable gumball machine sheet
- Paintbrush
- 3 Wine corks
Print out this free gumball machine coloring sheet or you can free-draw it like I did!
Open up your paints and use their caps for the kids to dip their wine corks in.
Have them fill up the gumball machine with different colored “gumballs” and then paint the machine with red paint.











That is so creative! Awesome!
I love this. I modified it to make it more interactive. I glued the sheet to thicker paper and cut out the flap. I taped a baggie to the back side and had the kiddos cut out gumballs with things they needed to learn on one side that they can take in and out of the gumball machine.
