Lesson Plan: Bubble Painting with Super Tempera!
Perfect for preschool and early primary school students.
Bubble painting is a fun and creative way for kids to explore colours and patterns. Every piece will be unique, and the best part? It's super easy! Just remember—blow, don’t suck, through the straw!
What You’ll Need:
Paper (thicker paper works best)
FAS Super Tempera Paint (bright colours work well)
Water
Washing-up liquid (dish soap)
Spoons
Paper Straws
Shallow trays or bowls
Plastic sheet or newspaper to cover the table
Aprons or old shirts to protect clothing
Paper towels for clean-up
Let’s Get Started:
Mix the Bubble Paint – In each shallow tray, mix 2 tablespoons of FAS Super Tempera paint, 1 tablespoon of water, and 2 tablespoons of washing-up liquid. Stir well with a spoon until the mixture is frothy.
Blow the Bubbles – Place a paper straw in the paint mixture and gently blow until bubbles form and rise above the tray. Remind children to blow, not suck!
Print the Bubbles – Quickly place a sheet of paper over the bubbles and press lightly. When you lift the paper, you’ll see the colourful bubble prints!
Experiment with Colours – Use a different tray for each colour, or layer different colours on the same paper for a cool effect.
Let It Dry – Set the artwork aside to dry. Once dry, kids can cut out shapes, make cards, or turn their bubble paintings into a fun collage!
Bubble painting is a great way to explore art through play. It’s messy, fun, and a perfect activity for little hands to create something special. Try it indoors or outdoors and enjoy the magic of bubbles in art!
Tips for Success:
Gentle blowing makes the best bubble patterns.
Use washable tempera paint to avoid staining.
If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water.
Try layering different colours for extra creative designs.
Always use paper straws to be environmentally friendly!
