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.

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.
