STEAM Challenge Friday – Bubble Art

Bubble Art

Come get artsy with us today! Bubble art is a fun and colorful activity for kids of all ages!

Materials:
-Cardstock or Paper
-Water
-Dish soap
-Food Coloring
-Straw

Instructions:

1. Add dish soap with water in a small cup
2. Add food coloring (darker colors work best) May stain so be careful.
3. Have your child blow bubbles with a straw until they overflow onto a sheet of paper.

When the bubbles pop, they leave a swirl of bright, unique colors—making a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Extra Bubble Art Challenges for Kids:

1. Color Mixing Challenge: Use two or more food coloring colors in one cup and watch as the bubbles mix to create new colors on the paper.
2. Pattern Challenge: Try blowing bubbles in a specific order or direction to create repeating patterns or designs.
3. Size Challenge: Experiment with different bubble sizes by blowing gently or more forcefully and see how the prints change.
4. Timed Challenge: See how many colorful bubble bursts your child can make in 1–2 minutes.
5. Team Challenge: Work with a friend or sibling to create a collaborative bubble masterpiece. Let the bubbles dry and add marker designs.

Bubble art is not only fun but also encourages creativity, experimentation, and a bit of scientific exploration as kids watch the bubbles form, rise, and pop.
