Bubble painting is not a new idea, but kids LOVE it. Â This was one of the stations at Annika’s Art party and it was a huge hit.
You will need to mix:
- A squirt of dish soap
- 15 drops drops of neon food coloring
- 1/2 cup of Water
I tested each color before the kiddos arrived, just to make sure it was bright.  You will also need a lot of straws, one for each kid.  I gave them a new straw each time they came back to this station.
Simply have the kiddos blow, and blow and blow until they have a huge pile of bubbles. Â Next press the paper gently into the bubbles allowing them to pop on the paper. Â Repeat the process with as many colors as the kids want. Â The end result is amazing. Â If you have not tried this with your kiddos yet you need to.
My sister in-law teaches preschool and mentioned that if you poke a hole in the straw near the top it will prevent the kids from sucking up the bubble solution. Â We did not have a problem with any kids accidently drinking the solution, but if you have younger kiddos it might be a good idea.
Gorgeous! We just did this over the weekend! Love the pics!
Thanks so much for sharing all the art party details – it looks like everyone had a blast!! I tried bubble painting with my kids last summer & it was a bust. Can you give me a teeny bit more specific idea of how much dish soap vs. water you used? Thank you!
Looks like so much fun. I will need to try this with my kids one day. I have it bookmarked. Thanks for the inspiration!

Be very careful with this. My younger sister inhaled bubbles and couldn’t breathe when she was about 5.

I can’t believe I’ve never done this before! Now I’m dead set on making a bubble print before the month’s end!
