A warm summer day is the perfect time for kids to blow bubbles. It is also a great time to take on new craft projects to ward off boredom. Bringing the two activities together may not seem like an obvious pairing, but you've got to love the end result when these worlds collide.
Holly at Life as a Thrifter has done it again. By adding food coloring to a bunch of small bubble containers and aiming her daughter at a blank white canvas, she (and her daughter, of course) has created a wonderful and truly unique piece of art. True to form, Holly did all of this for next to nothing by buying and old framed painting at a thrift store and painting both the frame and the canvas white. This is one piece of kids art that is destined to be displayed somewhere other than the front of the fridge.

This looks really cool! But all of your links link to this post instead of to Life as a Thrifter..
Very cool!
Love this!
You can use paint instead of food colouring to do this as well.
I love this technique. It looks even better when you cover the outside of a shape with paper, so you get something like this (which I'm in love with):

I love it, but this definitely looks like an outside project. Last time we had bubbles at our house it got pretty crazy.
The links are fixed, sorry for the mix-up. And yes, definitely an outside project!
I bet kids love seeing their bubble art framed and hanging in the home too. Cute idea.
Such a lovely memory for a child to carry with them, too.
I can't confirm this but I've heard you can also use the powdered tempera paints for this. I'm an SLP working with 3 year olds-- I've been dying to try this with my kids forever!
Wonderful idea. I never thought I'll say this but tonight, I can't wait for the morning when the kids will wake up
Love this! In regards to the powdered tempera paints, they are not recommended for children under 12 years old. The paints "create inhalable dusts, and some colors contain toxic pigments, preservatives, and additives". When in doubt, you can check to see if a product is ACMI certified safe for children.
