Pour the liquid soap into a container. If you’ve ever made your own bubble mix for art projects, you know how important it is to have a strong solution with vibrant colors. Over my 15 plus years of teaching, I was never really happy with the bubble mix recipes I found because I wanted to make prints from them. The bubbles would barely mound, and the left weak prints on the paper. Finally, FINALLY, I’ve found a bubble mix that rocks! You can imagine how excited I was when their new book, 101 Kids Activities, came out. And you can imagine how SUPER excited I was when they sent me a copy so my preschoolers could try out even more fun activities! I received a copy of 101 Kids Activities for review. All opinions are 100% mine. Since we are outdoors a lot during our summer camp, and we love bubbles, I was inspired by their bubble prints activity. We’ve done bubble prints before, but not using this recipe. No wonder our results were never this nice! To make the strongest bubbles:1 cup water1/2 cup liquid dish soap3 tablespoons corn syrupfood coloring Then, add the corn syrup. Add your choice of food coloring. Because I wanted a few different colors, I divided the solution before coloring it. Now the solution is ready to go! Next I taped 4-6 drinking straws together, one for each child. If you think your child might inhale rather than exhale, use bubble wands. Just blow the bubbles right over the paper! Now the fun begins! I’ve been asked if we could do this again next week. But of course we can! This is where my past efforts with this activity failed. We’ve never been able to create so many bubbles at once! As the bubbles settled, the colors blended onto the paper, creating a nice print that we admired. You can find this activity, as well as 100 other activities for kids of all ages, in Holly Homer and Rachel Miller’s book, 101 Kids Activities. Here is my Privacy Policy
