Bubble Painting: a simple spring activity
Need a new and engaging activity using materials you already have? Try bubble painting! It is a simple activity perfect for spring and only requires bubble mix, food coloring, paper, and bubble wands. It is an easy and cheap activity for kids. Continue reading for how-to details and our experience with this activity! Sofia says it is "bubble-tastic" so you will definitely want to try it.

Materials needed
It really is simple. I had all the materials around the house and it took me about 5 minutes to gather/set it up outside. This is what you need:
bubble mixture (we used pre-mixed store-bought)
food coloring
cardstock paper
bubble wands
plates to mix (we did paper plates)

Directions
Step 1
Mix the food coloring and the bubbles together. I did 4 different colors. No measurements, just poured some bubble mix and then did a few drops of the food coloring.
Step 2
Dip the bubble wand in the colored bubbles

Step 3
Blow bubbles onto cardstock paper. You can use any paper you have available but we found cardstock kept its shape better as it got wet.

Step 4
Pop the bubbles and see what happens! Our kiddos were super excited to see the shapes left behind after popping.

Results
Sofie says these are "bubble-tastic" and I have to agree. I found this was perfect for her age group (5-year-olds). Bubba (age 3) thought it was very cool and did his own as well but was done after a few turns. Sofia didn't want to stop and made multiple pieces of bubble painting art!

Overall I totally recommend trying this activity at home. Even if it doesn't kill a bunch of time it is still exciting and engaging for the duration of the activity. Plus this cost me $0. So it was worth it. I will say you 100% want to do this outside and in the grass so you have no major messes. It's the perfect activity for a sunny spring day!
