Fun with Bubbles & Bubbles with Art
We have two types of activities, Fun with Bubbles, and Bubbles with Art. Fun with bubbles allows children of all ages to play with the table top bubble tubs and experiment with different bubble blowing equipment. Bubbles with art is an activity in which we add a dye to the bubble liquid. The bubbles are then blown onto a canvas. When the bubbles pop, a faint outline of where the bubble once was is left behind by the dye, we then either trace back around the outline with crayon or paint to recreate the bubble. You can add glitter afterwards for extra effect..
