Friday

FAMILY FUN FRIDAY! Bubble Art

Young or Old, everyone loves bubbles. This week our Family Fun Friday makes bubbles even better. This is a great activity for your whole family.

All you need is...
Bubbles
Food Coloring or Tempera Paint

OR
To Start...
Stir 15 drops of food coloring, or 2 Tablespoons of tempera paint, into a 1/2 cup of bubble solution. We like to make the primary colors, and then because we have two girls, they always request pink and purple. We like the big bottles of Miracle Bubbles that you can get at Toy's R'Us. They come in a huge bottle so they last all summer and into the fall. I pour them into old bubble containers with lids so that we can close them up when we are done.

Take a large piece of paper, or a couple smaller pieces of paper and tape them up outside. We like to put ours up against the fence, or between two trees.

Then start blowing. Using your colored bubbles, blow the bubbles so they pop on the paper. You and your kids will see colorful bubble circles "pop" before your eyes and splatter into beautiful art.

THINK YOUR KIDS WILL HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE?
Have a great weekend.

  2. Heh - Forget kids - I'm using this myself to add some color to my own home! Though, when the boy I watch is back from vacation this will be sure to liven up a lazy afternoon!

    Love the bubble art idea...but I am guessing that at 2 & 4 there would be more t-shirt art than paper art right now! :)

  10. I am going to try this. What kind of paper works best?

  11. Gina,
    We usually use butcher paper if it is around, but I like construction paper, bubbles seep in a lot, or when we don't have those I just grab some computer printer paper and tape it up. Anything will work.
