Remove the straw and place a piece of paper over the bubbles. Place a straw in the solution and blow until the bubbles rise above the rim of the container. Some questions I asked were: What happens when you pull your window through the air?Ĭan you poke things through without popping it?Ĭan a friend put his/her finger through the window without popping it?Ĭan a friend put another window through yours?įor each bubble print color desired, mix one part liquid tempera paint with two parts liquid dish soap in a small container.

As they take the windows out of the solution, they should slowly pull the straws apart. The children dip the bubble windows into the bubble solution while holding the straws side by side. When you hold one straw in each hand and spread out the string it should look like a rectangle. Thread the straws onto the string and knot the string. You’ll need 2 straws and 1 yard of cotton string per child. Pictures made with bubble wrap for used for packaging–cut into small pieces and let them dip on paint and then press on paper. When we unfolded their filters, a colorful tie-dye pattern could be seen. We folded coffee filters into a pizza slice shape and dipped them in a mixture of food coloring and water to make a bubble. Put a little tempera paint in your bubble juice and blow bubbles outside while the children run & catch the bubbles on paper. The kids went right to work blowing bubble solution thru these one-of-a-kind bubble wands. Then when they get done with putting beads on the handle, I twist the bottom to hold the beads in place. I let the kids put beads (we used beads with letters on so they could form their names) any kind will do. Form a circle at the top of the wand and bend it around and form a handle. Use a thin piece of craft wire about 7 inches long, and bend it to form a wand. Have the children cut out several circle shapes and create their own bubble animal/shape out of the circles. I used food coloring last year and it wasn’t as bright as the tempera.) (Someone on the loop asked about using food coloring instead of tempera. We used blue, magenta and green for our colors and they turned out beautiful. Then one child would take a white piece of construction paper and place it on top of the bubbles. (Any shallow container would do.) Three children at a time would blow bubbles until the bubbles were higher than the rim of the dish. What happens if you blow lightly on a bubble?Ĭan you tell exactly when a bubble will pop? (I won’t tell you what we found, but we (the teachers included) were amazed at what we learned.īubble Prints: We mixed bubble solution with lots of tempera paint and placed it in large margarine tubs. We observed several bubbles in this manner. The colors and patterns are very easy to see. We observed the bubble colors until it popped. (To make a bubble home, we took 4 sheets of 8″X10″ oak tag paper and stapled them to make a cylinder shape.) The contrasting colors of the black plastic bag and the white oak tag made the colors of the bubbles more prominent. Next we placed a “bubble home” around each bubble.

Using a straw, each group blew a bubble on top of the black bag. We placed a black trash bag on a table and coated it with bubble mixture. Use watercolor Markers to decorate bubble and wipe away the beaded marker drops to create an opaque look.Įach group of 4 students helped to make a table bubble. Glue a little larger piece of wax paper behind the ring. Put a tray under the cup, as this gets quite messy.Ĭut a circle from white tag board, then cut out the center to form a ring. Caution… talk about blowing out not sucking in the bubble water. “Take a picture” of the bubbles by putting a paper over the top of the cup. The child (or adult) blows in to the cup to make bubbles. Put dish soap (a lot, you’ll have to play with measurements), water and Tempera paint in a container (we use our easel paint cups). Shake the bottle really hard to create bubbles and make designs on paper. Pour a small amount into a clean glue bottle. Have children use watercolor paints on it so looks like a bubble. It works well if you make the packaging into a glove (fold over and staple) I used this on fish – they looked awesome.Īdd some liquid tempera to bubble mixture, and hang poster paper on the easel, have the children blow bubbles on to the paper, and watch the design that forms when they pop.Ĭut out a big round circle from white finger-paint paper. I like to tape the cap on using masking tape. Let the children shake the bottle to make colored bubbles. Add tempera paint & about 1/3 cup of liquid detergent.
