Do you like to blow bubbles? Try this simple creative activity to “print” paper with paint bubbles. 

Inspired by this post from Alisa Burke, we made several jars of bubble paint using water, acrylic paint, and dish soap. (I use a natural low sudsing dish soap, so added a couple drops of bubble bath to get more bubbles.)
Mix the paint, water and dish soap together, grab a straw and start blowing bubbles. When there are enough bubbles piled up over the top of the jar, pull out the straw and lay a piece of paper over the bubbles (we used white card stock.) I also saved and dried the paper towels from under the jars for… well, you never know when you might need colorful painted pieces of paper towel for a project!

The grandkids enjoyed “painting” bubbles though the younger ones (3 and 4 yr olds) wanted me to blow the bubbles for them. I think they were concerned they might suck the paint instead of blowing it. When the kids were finished I made a pile of bubble prints for myself. I will admit, it was fun! What will I do with the papers I printed? Perhaps make some cards? Or use pieces in a mixed media collage? Hmmm…

I wonder what kind of prints you could make with chocolate milk?
