Magic Bubble Painting!

Create Together

View this picture guide to make the best bubbles!

Make your bubble paint solution:

• Pour 3 tbsp of bubble solution into a bowl for each color of bubble paint you want to create. If you don’t have bubble solution, you can combine 2 tbsp of dish soap with 1 tbsp of water and gently stir.
• Now add your colors! Add 2 tbsp liquid tempera paint or a few drops of food coloring in each bowl and stir. You can try to combine colors to make new ones.
• Test out your solution by blowing a bubble with a bubble wand.

If your bubbles are popping very quickly or if you can’t blow bubbles at all, add a little more bubble solution or dish soap and try again!

If you don’t have a bubble wand, visit CMOM at Home to make your own. 

Try these methods of painting with bubbles:

• Dip your bubble wand into the solution and hold it over a piece of paper. Blow towards the paper and watch a bubble form, then pop onto the page! 
• Take your solution and paper outside and try blowing your paint bubbles into the air towards a piece of paper on the ground. How many bubbles hit the paper? What happens when they pop?
• Dip a straw into the solution and blow until a large layer of bubbles appears at the top of your solution. Supervise children to ensure they don’t suck inward and drink any of the solutions. Gently place a piece of paper on top of the bubbles and remove it to create a bubble print. 
• Gather 5-6 straws in a bundle and secure them with tape or string. Dip one end of the bundle into the bubble paint solution, then blow out of the other end towards a piece of paper. 

After your bubble artwork is done, set it aside to dry.
