make Spooky Bubble Cards
While changing over our summer coats to our fall coats we came across a container of bubble solution which our son wanted to use a lightsaber. Instead of disposing of the bubble solution we decided to use it to create Halloween cards.
you'll need Materials
- Bubble solution
- Non-toxic black ink or paint
- Thick paper (e.g., cardstock etc.)
- Bubble wands
- Plastic container
- Safety goggles (our son wears glasses so he was protected by those!)
We always find a smock helpful too!
Directions
- Don your smock.
- Mix your paint or ink into your bubble solution. We went a mix of approximately 2/3 bubble solution and 1/3 black ink, stirring it with our bubble wand.
- Place your paper into your craft tray and blow your bubbles onto your page!
- Allow to dry overnight and the fold your card in half, writing a message to your friend, neighbour, teacher etc.
This activity works with any colour of paint, as you can see from our friends at:

Purpose
- Creating meaningful opportunities for writing.
- Exploring different painting techniques.
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.

Thank you so much for sharing this fun, creative activity, and your beautiful photography, on the #made4kids linkup. My kiddos love bubble play, and we've never tried anything like this. We'll have to try it!

This looks like a lot of fun! We did spin art tonight and the kids had a blast! We will need to try this next.
