Making Colorful Art with Bubbles!

We can make unusual artwork just by mixing a little food coloring with soap and water!


Supplies:

3 Tablespoons of soap

3 short glasses

3 primary colors of food coloring:  yellow, red and blue (as many drops as you like, but start with just 3 or 4)

3 cups of water

3 straws

1 fairly large paper that is not too thin


Step 1:

Begin by placing 1 Tblsp. of soap in each glass.

Step 2:

Add 1 cup of water to each glass, along with 1 color of food coloring per glass.

Step 3:

Take the straws and begin blowing bubbles.  If the colorful bubbles are slow to rise to top of glass, add a little more soap.

Last:

Quickly take your paper and Gently lay it on top of bubbles.  As you raise your paper up you’ll see the beautiful colors and shapes you are making.  You will notice that the primary colors begin to mix, creating other colors of the rainbow.  

Hint:

Be careful to not let your paper get too “watery”, and try keeping it flat until it dries.

Remember our rule in art class, Be Sure to Have Fun!
