::: colourful bubbles & some common sense!
We mentioned in our post on Ellie V Pullen Preschool last term, that the children were enjoying a bubble blowing art activity.
Bubble mixture (just water and detergent) are placed in a bowl with some Edicol dye added.
This is an activity we’ve done many times over the years – children love it!
We noticed at Ellie V Pullin that they joined two straws together so when the bubbles come up and over the edge of the rim of the container, the children’s faces didn’t get covered in bubbles …
the way they always did at our kinder! Now why didn’t we ever think to do that?
When the bubbles were nice and high the children carefully pressed a piece of paper over the top of them and made a very ‘bubbly’ pattern.
Then they changed colours and repeated the process as many times as they wished.
The resulting art work was stunning!
Bubble photos are fabulous! I’ve never thought of the double straw idea, either! And, the art is stunning
Thanks for the post, Sherry & Donna!
::: Oh GOOD Jeanne now we feel better … It’s nice to know you were living under the rock with us … Hee … hee … hee!

::: The more the merrier Lisa … we can all learn together!
We always used cups for this activity, I am going to use the icecream buckets next time, that gives much better area….. I love it. Oh and the double straw thing is great too. Thanks for the great ideas.
::: You’re very welcome quinny72 … have fun with it!
I just saw this and tried it out. The boys are having as much fun blowing as making the art but it’s a blast! FUN.
Thanks!
::: We found that our children often ditched the colour and the paper and made it just about the bubble blowing too Erin … and the bigger the better!
This is a great idea for little ones. I can always use new creative projects for the kids. Thank You
::: It’s such good fun Jennifer … Just be sure to remind them to blow and not suck or they’ll be blowing bubbles all day long!!
Wow, what a great idea! I’ll try this with my boys this weekend!
::: Sounds like a good plan Kari … have FUN!!
WOW…..!!! Time for Fun.
