I received Magic Bubble Art from Growing Tree Toys. My boys love the Kid Concoctions toys, they are so creative and fun!
Our kit came with cups, food coloring, a stirring stick, soap, straws and fun paper cut-outs. All of these items are things you probably have around the house so you could easily recreate this project.
Cohen worked hard to punch out all the perforated pieces. He loved this part.
I laid out a towel on the table to help with spills, then set out the cups and added a few drops of food coloring to each cup.
I added some dish soap, because that’s all I had (my box was missing it and it still worked out great! Cohen stirred it all up for me. Then we got ready for the messy fun! Just put a straw in each cup and blow! Do not overfill the cups with water when you begin. That would be even messier! When the bubbles are overflowing over the top of the cup you place your cutout over the bubbles. Voila! Bubble Art!
Cutler wanted some bubble blowing action. He could care less about the art, he just wanted to blow bubbles.
Quickly we had overflowing bubbles all over the place! It wasn’t long before a cup got spilled. I knew it would happen. We decided to place all the remaining cups on a plate. That worked out pretty well for a while. The paper cups started falling apart after a while. I’m thinking a small juice glass would have been better. Messes were abounding.
Camden took to dipping his straw in the puddle on the plate then blowing directly onto the cutouts. That gave us a very definite design. He liked the control this method gave him.
We ended the art project by just placing all four cups on a piece of paper and decided to keep the paper as our art.
It was a great project that was more simple than messy. The mess was an easy cleanup with the towel underneath.
