Creative Play: Bubble Painting

I was going to do a post about making play dough, but I can't find my photos! I'm going to have to search for those and hopefully do a new post tonight. So instead, I'm posting something fun you can do with your kiddos if it's rainy, cold or you're just bored! Bubble painting!

All you need is some small cups (I used empty apple sauce cups) dish soap, a bit of water and some food coloring. Put a bit of dish soap, some water and food coloring in a small, shallow cup. Depending upon your food coloring and dish soap, you'll have to play a bit with the ratios. I recommend doing this in a jelly roll pan to contain the mess. You can cut up the final product or fold it in half to make cards, gift tags, etc.

Blow bubbles with a straw. Make sure your child doesn't
inhale! Yuck!

Place the sheet of paper on top of the bubbles,
gently. 

We had a few different colors to play with. Here is one of the
finished pieces of art. 

Busy guy. Little ones can do this by themselves,
but it does get messy. We had more paper
soaked with solution than bubbles when
my son did it himself. He had fun and was
happy with his work which is the most
important part!
