For some reason I think of this as a "spring" art project... preschoolers love it because they actually are encouraged to blow bubbles through a straw! I mean, hey! How often are you encouraged to do THAT?!?!?!
Remind them repeatedly that they really don't want to
Here's what to do:
Mix shallow bowls with watered down paint (I use tempura paints). Add a good amount of dish soap to each paint.
Give each child a straw. Encourage them to blow bubbles.
Remind them repeatedly that they really don't want toget the soapy paint bubbles in their mouths and to
just blow out through the straw, but not in.
Blow mountains of bubbles.... the bigger the better
Have some paper ready. Good sturdy paper is needed, thin paper will just wrinkle with the moisture.
When you have a mountain of bubbles, put the paper over the bubbles and press down. Lift and move on to the next color.
It's almost like painting rainbows...
even the aftermath is kindof pretty...
Enjoy!
