Bubble Prints
You need: 1/2 cup bubble solution, 1/4 cup tempera paint (or drops of food colouring), straws, paper for printing

Mix together the bubble solution and paint or food colouring in a shallow container (a pie tin works well). Using a straw, blow bubbles into the mixture and then remove straw. Lower a sheet of paper onto the bubbles - leave for a second and then lift paper off. Let the paper dry, wet side up.

If the bubbles pop too quickly, try adding a few tablespoons of sugar to the water.

If kids are blowing the bubbles, make sure they understand to blow and not suck through the straw! | Read more...
