Bubble Blowing

Blowing Bubbles on paper. You just add some liquid water color to the bubble solution put a straw in and blow. Kaia has been big about blowing bubbles in her milk and apple juice so I knew she would enjoy it.

I also had pipe cleaners so the kids could make their own bubble wands in whatever shape and size they wanted.

Stir slowly if you make to many bubbles while stirring its harder to get the bubble blowers to work well. Enjoy!

Spray Bottle Art

Kaia has a little squirt bottle that she waters the plants with. She absolutely loves it so I decided to create an art project around it. We used liquid water colors. This project started in the house, quickly got moved outside, and the once again got moved to the easel.

Art on different mediums

She was not quite done painting the crown but the crown couldn't take anymore paint so she painted the newspaper.

Painting and coloring do not always have to be on paper
