Make your bubble paint:  
  • To a cup, add 3 spoonfuls of paint and 2 spoonfuls of water and then add 6 drops of washing-up liquid.    
  • Mix everything with a stick. 
  • (Add 1 more spoonful of water if the mixture is too thick. The more the mixture is diluted, the less visible the bubbles will be.)

Create your paint bubbles:  
  • Use a straw to blow into the paint to create bubbles that rise above the rim of the cup. Protect your table by covering it with a tablecloth and your clothes with an apron, as the process can throw small drips of paint everywhere!

Print your bubbles onto the paper:  
  • Place a sheet of paper over the top of the cup, so that the bubbles of paint print onto the back. Remove the paper and let it dry flat.

Using more colours:  
  • Create other colours in other cups and add different colours of bubbles to your paper. You could even mix the powders to create new colours. Here we have created a turquoise by mixing blue, green and white.

Finish up your drawing:  
  • Using the Skrib markers, draw whatever takes your fancy over the bubbles. These are our ideas:  
  • We've created a tree, a field of flowers, dandelions, butterflies and fish swimming in the ocean, all created using bubbles of different colours. 
  • You could also choose to leave the bubbles as they are if you like their abstract design!
