Bubbles and rainbows

Popped Bubble Art

This is always a big hit with kids when I do it with them.  Hope you all enjoy!  Simply colour bubble mix with food colouring and blow bubbles onto paper – as the bubbles land and pop, they create beautiful works of art. It goes without saying that this project is best done outdoors.

Materials

  • Bubble Mix
  • Bubble Wands
  • Food Colouring
  • Paper

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 tablespoon of bubble mix into a small, shallow bowl.
  2. Add a few drops of food colouring to the bubble mix and stir well
  3. Place your bubble wand in the coloured bubble mix, remove and blow bubbles towards your paper. 
  4. As the bubbles hit the paper and pop, they will leave interesting patterns. Repeat with other colours.

Tips

  1. Caution: Food colouring will stain surfaces and clothing. Be sure to protect both!
  2. This activity can be frustrating on a windy day – as the wind makes it hard to get the bubbles to hit the target paper!

  1. I need to get some more food coloring next time i am at the shop and we will try this, think Carys will love it. Will get pics when we do and let you see Carys art 😀

    1. You know it probably would! Just the tiniest amount I’d expect could work. Let me know if you try it!
