How to Make Bubble Monsters
Gather supplies
Add 2 TBSP of paint to each container
Add 1-2 TBLS of water to the paint
The amount of water needed will depend on the thickness of the paint
Add 2 TBLS of dish soap
Mix well
If you mixed the bubble paint recipe in larger containers-be sure to pour mixture into shallower bowls or container.
Place straws into each paint bowl.
Use a push pin to poke a hole in each straw to prevent your child from accidentally sipping instead of blowing!
Invite your child to choose a color and blow into the straw to make bubbles.
Blow bubbles until the bubbles reach the top of the bowl.
After the bubbles have reached the top, place a piece of card-stock paper on top of the bubbles and press down.
Remove paper and repeat this process with other colors!
Use a shallow container for the paint solution so the bubbles can easily reach the top.
Bubble Painting is a bit messy-so be sure to use washable tempera paint, and “play” clothes.
Bring the bubble paints outside so your child can soak up the vitamin D while creating art!
Make sure your child always puts the same side of the straw in the paint each time-to avoid getting a mouth full of paint and soap!
Wrap a piece of tape around the top of the straw so your child always knows which end of the straw should be in the paint.
If your paint mixture is too thick and not producing many bubbles, just add a little more water.
