Missy's Bubble Painting

• White paper
• Water-based paint (tempera paint, food coloring, liquid watercolor all work)
• A straw
• Cups ¼ full of water
• Liquid dish soap

1. Drop some paint into each of your cups (more paint will yield brighter colors).
2. Add a drop of dish soap to each cup.
3. Take your straw, stick it in your first cup and blow softly until bubbles rise above the rim of the cup.
4. Place your paper on top of the cup and quickly remove it. This will make an impression of the bubbles.
5. Make as many impressions with this color as you like.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 with your other colors.
7. When you are done, let the paint dry.

Now you have a beautiful bubble painting! You can hang it on the fridge as-is. Or you can cut a shape out of it, use it as wrapping paper or use it as the background for a drawing. Be creative and have fun!
