Place a piece of paper into a shoe box letting it go up the sides. If you are using oatmeal containers, place paper inside the container. Add paint to the meat trays and roll the pebbles in the paint. Spoon out the pebbles one or two at a time and add them to the shoe box. Shake the shoe box and let the pebbles do the painting.
