Bubble Print Pictures

How Make Make Prints Using Bubbles

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Instructions for making a fun print picture using bubbles.

Materials Needed:

  • Tempera Paint
  • Liquid Dish Soap
  • Paper
  • Drinking Straws

Instructions:
Stir together 1/2 cup water, 1-2 tablespoons paint, and 1/2-1 tablespoon dish soap; pour it into a shallow dish, such as a pie pan. Place one end of a straw in the paint/soap mixture and gently blow to make bubbles. Blow until the bubbles are almost over the edge of the pan. Place a piece of paper on top of the bubbles and hold it in place until several bubbles have popped and transferred their shape onto the paper - this makes a fun bubble print! Continue the process with different colors if you want. Blow more bubbles as needed. Set aside to dry. When dry, you can add drawings to your bubble pictures if you want.
