Bubble Flowers

The kids at work have been loving the bubbles we've been blowing outside. I love how excited they get when I pull them out. They have all also been super keen to try and blow the bubbles. Since we haven't done much art in the room I thought I would build on the bubble blowing to make some bubble art. I found this on pinterest, and thought I'd give it a test drive this weekend before trying it with the kids (the pin hole in the straw is a pretty nifty tip). I couldn't find any tempera paint, so I don't know how well that paint works, but ordinary washable paint didn't seem to have much affect on the bubble's colours. It is possible I needed to use more paint than I had available. However, food colouring did work. For the best effect I blew a whole bunch of bubbles and then dropped in the food colouring, it had the added bonus of looking super cool too!

I think this one may be worth trying with the kids this week. :)

Bubbles bubbles.

So...I should be working on an essay, or getting ready to pack, or sending out e-mail to get some work experience, BUT I am feeling lazy and like sleeping or napping in the sun. I don't even feel motivated enough to upload pictures and sort them out for posting here. Hehe. Lazy days. So I thought lets share some bubbles, maybe they can infect me with fun and energy. :) We'll see!
