Great for wrapping paper or just sunny afternoon fun!


Material

  • 4 non toxic poster paints
  • 4 750ml takeaway containers (eg Chinese)
  • 4 Straws
  • 4 teaspoons of dish washing liquid
  • 4 cups of water
  • 6 Sheets of A3 paper
  • 1 Old newspaper

Method

  1. Lay your old newspaper out ...this is going to get messy!
  2. Fill each container with a cup of water, a teaspoon of dish-washing liquid and a generous squirt of paint, mix gently until combined.
  3. Using a straw, get the kids to blow bubbles into the mix (like you tell them not to do in their drinks!) This will create a mountain of bubbles on top of the mix
  4. Once your bubbles are bubbley, gently place your paper over the bubbles and remove quickly- you don't want your paper to get too wet, you only want to dip it in the bubbles not the water!
  5. Lay on a flat surface to dry.

Notes

You can also dollop the bobbles onto the paper and blow them around with the straws!

  • I work in childcare and the kids love doing bubble painting the only problem was that they use to drink the mixture all the time so you must insure it’s non toxic it’s great for wrapping paper and using as a back drop for other arts and crafts


    • One would hope the taste of the mixture would be enough to discourage kids from drinking it, but I guess you would have to be vigilant!
