Hot-glue a large metal washer inside a bath sponge. Place white paper in the bottom of a shallow cardboard box. Secure and prop up the box on blocks so that the children can guide the sponge with a hand magnet from underneath the box. The children can squeeze a variety of colors onto their paper and use the magnet and sponge to create abstract art.
