These activities are fun for preschoolers and older kids too. 

 

 

Bubble Prints -- Activity # 1

You will need:

• Three (or more) pans filled part way with bubble solution.

• Food Coloring.  Use a different color to tint each pan of water.

• Clean straws.

• Drawing paper

Have each child blow into a container until the bubbles are nice and high.
Add more food coloring.  Then have the child place a piece of drawing paper right down on top of the container.
When that color dries, go to the next pan. For a different look, don't wait until the first colors dry.
 

 

Bubble Prints -- Activity # 2

You will need:

• Tempera or poster paint in 3 or 4 colors,

• Bubble solution,

• Bubble wand or drinking straw,

• 3 or 4 small containers,

• A teaspoon and cup

Note: You will want to take some precautions against MESS.  Spread out old newspaper under the work area and get the smocks (or clothes that can get messy and possibly stained).

1. Pour about one cup of bubble solution in each container.

2. Add one teaspoon of paint to each container.

3. Stir gently until mixed.

4. Take turns blowing bubbles while your partner "catches" them on paper. As they break, you'll get a design of brightly colored splotches! For darker colors, add more paint.
