Last week we did a fun painting experiment with bubbles. I had the kids make a fish with bubble painting which goes with the Book of the Week – Water.
So, here’s what you”ll need to get started - Contruction Paper, Liquid Paints, Bubble solution, Straw, Scissor, Googly eyes, Glue, Glue glitters.
Step 1: Mix any color liquid paint and bubble solution in a cup.
Step 2: Using a straw, mix and blow to make bubbles.
Step 3: Draw a fish on the paper and color it using bubble paint. have your kids just play with the bubbles. The bigger bubbles will just stick and form a 3d image.
Step 4: After drying the bubble paint just cut out fish shape.
Step 5: Glue eyes and use some glue glitter for decoration.
