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:

1. 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.
2. Place on the table in front of your child.
3. 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.
4. Place a sheet of paper onto the bubbles and press down on the back of the paper very gently.
5. Remove from the bubbles and pat off any excess soap or water.
6. Set to the side to dry and try another design with either the same bubbles and paint or with new bubbles and paint.
