Bubble prints are created by blowing bubbles in coloured water and using a piece of heavy paper to take an imprint of the bubbles. Allows children to experiment with different techniques for creating prints and explore some of science behind making bubbles.
Equipment required
- Cups of watered down paint, dye or food colouring
- Dishwashing liquid
- Straws
- Heavy paper
What do we do?
- Add some dishwashing liquid to a cup of coloured water/paint
- Have the child blow through a straw into the water, creating bubbles
- When the bubbles have reached the top of the cup, place your paper on top to capture the shape of the bubbles
What are we learning?
- To follow a process
- How bubbles can be made
- Transference and mirror images
- Shapes (circles)
- What happens if we make a mistake (tip the cup over, blow too hard/gentle, suck, etc)
