Scrapbooking stores and sites (Chic Scrapbooks, Memory Villa, Scrapbook Clearinghouse, Stampin' Up and more) also offer marbled goods.

And yet, marbled papers are so simple and fun to make! Use real marbles from your child’s collection, or pick up a big bag at the discount store. Kids of all ages love this kinetic craft!
