Your child will love bubble painting! — Use this fun project as an opportunity to talk to your child about mixing colours.

Are you and your kiddos looking for something new and fun to do on a particularly windy and overcast morning? Why not paint bubbles?

This project has some seriously messy potential but is super fun, so let’s get started!

What you need

Dish soap
Different coloured metallic liquid acrylic paints
Paper cups
Straws
Paper
Glitter (optional)

How to make it

Mix half a cup of water with a generous squirt of both dish soap and paint.
Give your child a straw and let them blow into the soapy paint water.
Lay your sheet of paper over the top of the bubbles to create an imprint.
Repeat with different coloured bubbles until your child is happy with their final bubble painting.
