If you are like me, you are looking for fun activities for the kiddos during winter break. Here's a project that I did for a children's mini-class a few months ago.
I gave each child a rectangle of white cardstock about 3x5 inches, a bubble wand, and a piece of folded cardstock that measured about 4.5x5.5 inches.
Before class, I added ink to regular bubble liquid creating different colors. (You can also use food coloring.)I filled various old food containers with each color so we were all ready to go. The kids dipped their bubble wands into the colored solution and blew the bubbles onto the paper creating beautiful designs. I had them experiment with different wand shapes, the distance between the paper and the wand and with flicking the solution. It was fun for them to be so free.
Once they were happy with their paper, we added glitter to the wet liquid. This really made it special. Surprisingly, the it stuck pretty well too! Next, we stapled the paper to the folded cardstock and made a card. You can see a sample below.
This is a great project to do outside or over a plastic tablecloth. This project is perfect with children who can blow a bubble (starting around 3 years old in our house).
I hope that this inspires you to do some simple art projects with your little ones!
