Kids Craft #4: Bubble Prints

Almost every child is a bubble lover.  What better way to do arts and crafts than with your child's favorite activity?

This project involves parental involvement becasue it takes some patience and time to get the bubble mixture to be the proper color and still be able to actually blow bubbles.  In doing this project myself, there was a lot of trial and error involved in mixing the bubbles, so your projects may actually turn out way better than my finished project.


Materials:
  - white paper
  - bubbles (from the dollar store in the smaller bottles)
  - food coloring
  - tape and duck tape (optional)

Steps:
1.)  Pour desired amount of food coloring into one half of the bottle of bubble mix.  If using a newer bubble solution, pour half of the bottle into a plastic cup and then add food coloring.  TIP: test out your colored bubbles on a sheet of paper before giving the colored mix to your children.
2.)  If outdoors, tape the white paper to the driveway (or other outdoor surface you do not mind getting dirty).  If indoors, I would suggest covering your work space with newspaper and putting your white paper on top OR cover you surface entirely with white paper and make a colored bubble collage.
3.)  Give the colored bubble mixture to your children and allow them to blow bubbles at the paper any way they prefer.
4.)  When they have completed their project, allow them to dry overnight.  Create a "frame" with fun duck tape if you desire by folding the tape 
in half over the edges.
