Craft Project: Bubble Painting #1
Bubbles are often a hit with children and I have yet to meet a child that didn’t love bubbles. For this reason alone, bubble painting is often a big hit with kids and there are a number of ways to do bubble painting.
For this activity, I am going to do the basic bubble painting activity that I have done with both my kids and my class.
What you need:
- A large container or cake pan
- water
- dish soap
- tempura paint (optional: you can use food coloring instead if you like)
- paper
- paper towel
Directions:
- Fill the container with dish soap and water. You want to have a lot of suds for the bubble painting. Make sure to use warm water since cold water removes bubbles.
- Place on the table in front of your child.
- Have them choose colors to add to the top layer of the bubbles. I like to use squeeze bottles for this and I help my kids, hand over hand in applying the paint.
- Place a sheet of paper onto the bubbles and press down on the back of the paper very gently.
- Remove from the bubbles and pat off any excess soap or water.
- Set to the side to dry and try another design with either the same bubbles and paint or with new bubbles and paint.
