How to Make Bubble Painting Art for Kids
In each plastic cup or bowl, combine 2-3 tablespoons of dish soap with 0.25 cup of water. Add a few drops of liquid watercolors or food coloring, mixing until fully combined and bubbly.
Gently blow into the mixture using a straw. Watch as captivating bubbles rise above the cup's edge, bursting with beautiful colors.
Carefully place the heavyweight paper on top of the bubbles, allowing the colors to transfer onto the paper. This will create enchanting patterns and designs!
Remove the paper, and if desired, repeat the process using different colors to add more vibrancy to your artwork.
After all your bubble masterpieces are created, let the painted paper dry completely. Once dry, you can display or gift your colorful creations.
Notes
Always supervise younger children during this creative activity. Encourage experimentation with color mixing and embrace unique outcomes in the art process.
