Let's Make Bubble Art

Have you ever used bubbles to create art? It's fun and effective, so let's give it a try!

You will need:

  • Dishwashing Liquid
  • Acrylic non-toxic paint
  • Water
  • A recycled or tupperware plastic bowl or container to make the bubbles in
  • Paper
  • Pencils, pencils or crayons


Step 1:

Mix 1 Part Dishwashing Liquid, 1 Part Paint and 2 Parts Water in a plastic container. Give it a little whisk with a fork or a whisk to make bubbles appear. I made two containers - one pink and one purple (two of my favourite colours). You can make ANY colour you like.


Step 2:

Carefully place your paper over the bubble containers and let the bubbles soak into the paper. Then leave to dry.

Step 3:

Add your own details with pens, pencils, stickers or crayons. I decided to turn my bubbles into flowers!

This activity can be messy, so it's best done with parent supervision if you are in Primary School.
