I remember doing this as a child. Mom had us all outside with an oil cloth on the picnic table. We had a lot of fun. We used to 'paint' our easter eggs this way, too. Sometimes we'd use a wax pencil to make designs first, and then we'd put the egg on a stand and blow bubbles at them. Sometimes it was messy, but we were outside and it wasn't anything that wouldn't wash off. Not like the food coloring that stays on your fingers for a couple of days!

What kind of paint is everyone using? Watercolor, tempura? Inquiring minds want to know, before we try it ourselves. ;)

we framed one of the paintings - it was hard choosing which one but when we have visitors they are alwsys drawn to that painting, it is so delicate they find it hard to believe a two year old could have done it!

That looks like a lot of fun! Just this weekend I was reading a book from the 80s I found in my parents basement that suggested kind of the reverse: Outside - possibly in a box, can't remember - blow bubbles in a cup until you have an overflowing mound. Then gently place a paper down on the bubble mound. As I'm always telling my son not to blow bubbles in his cup at dinner I thought this project might be right up his alley. Now we might need to try both ways!

I love this idea!! Thank you. For Easter my girls got one of those extra big bubble buckets so this would be a perfect way to use those ... since regular bubbles get boring for 2 years olds after a while.

I had a bubble picture painting my sister did once (or maybe it was a watercolor, I'm not sure), where after the paint was dry, she squirted some plaint in swirls over the colored paint. The effect was very pretty.
