Bubble painting

My kids love bubbles. But one thing they don’t love about bubbles is how temporary they are. In this bubble painting  project, I thought it would be fun to see if we could preserve a bit of bubbles after my kids played with them in an artistic way. We were delighted with how pretty the bubble paint art came out. My daughter said they reminded her of the sea. I thought they looked like art you might see in a museum! Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler – you will love this bubble painting for kids. It is quick to set-up, uses simple materials, and produces so many pretty bubble projects!

Bubble painting for kids

All you need are a few simple materials you probably already have on hand to make this painting with bubbles art project. Here is what you need to make foam bubble paintings:

  • Straws (1 for each child)
  • 3 colors of washable paint (we did yellow, blue, and green)
  • 3 small containers
  • Dish soap
  • Large tray (or cookie sheet)
  • Cardstock paper

First, place a small bit of paint in each container. Add twice as much water as you added paint. Drop in 4 drops of dish soap per color of paint.

Place your paper inside your tray or cookie sheet.

use a straw to blow in the paint, water, dish soap mixture to make bubbles

Instruct your kids to blow into the straws to make big bubbles. Show them how to blow steadily and slowly to make bubbles. If you blow too hard, you make splatters.

When the containers are full of bubbles, pour off about half of the liquid paint, leaving the bubbles, bubble foam, and a little bit of paint.

dump the paint onto your card stock inside a tray
