This is an easy way to let your little ones
"paint" using bubbles.
You can go all green for St. Patrick's Day
or use any colors that you'd like!
You'll need some dish detergent,
a small cup, card stock, a straw,
food coloring, a marker and newspaper.
You might need scissors if you
decide to cut your picture out.
Start by drawing, or letting your child draw
whatever he would like to paint.
We chose green things since it's near
St. Patrick's Day.
Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dish detergent
in the bottom of a small cup. Add water, just to about 1/3
full. Add 5-6 drops of food coloring to
make the color deep.
Now for the fun part! Let you child blow
into the straw to make bubbles.
You might want to practice with
a cup of plain water, first,
just to make sure they blow and
don't suck the water up the straw.
It's non-toxic, but it won't taste good!
Blow until the bubbles run out of the cup.
Press the card stock down onto the bubbles and
then pick up the paper.
Repeat as many times as your child would
like to until you get the coverage that you
want with the bubbles.
Once you're happy with the coverage,
let the card stock dry and cut out
your picture, if you'd like.
How amazing is it that
bubbles can paint??
Pretty amazing! But not as amazing as Jesus!
