Bubble Painting

Resources:

  • Bowl or tray
  • Washing up liquid
  • Water
  • Paint
  • Drink straw
  • Paper

Follow these steps:

  1. Put a squirt of paint into the bowl/tray. Add a few drops of washing up liquid.
  2. Add some water to make it runny consistency to blow bubbles.
  3. Using the drinking straw, blow into the paint mixture to create the lot of bubbles so they rise above the bowl
  4. Place the paper lightly on top of the bubbles until they stop popping
  5. Carefully lift the paper so not to smudge the paint
  6. The popped bubbles will have left a complex pattern of  interlinking circles.
  7. Leave to dry.
  8. An adult could help you make another creation by cutting your work into a shape -e.g. butterfly, flower, car, football

  1. Tried it with my girls, I used plastic boxes, and the results aren’t that beautiful like in the picture above, but girls were really enjoying this activity:)
