the paint is still wet, take the painting outside with five children at a time and use the
small spray bottles to spray water on the paper. Let the children watch as the colors run
together. This can be done in groups or individually.
Bubble Painting Art

Small cups
Construction paper in light colors
Bubble solution
Washable paint
Plastic to cover the tables and floors
Directions
Fill the small cup about one-fourth of the way with bubble solution. Add a couple of
drops of paint into the solution. Mix the bubbles and paint with the straw. Place the paper
on a covered table or floor and place the cup of bubble paint on top of the paper. Let each
child blow through the straw to create bubbles. As the bubbles overflow, they will fall
onto the paper making a wonderful painting.
