makin' it monday // rainbow bubble art

hey guys! how was/is everyone's labor day weekend going? i'm SO pumped it's here. you know...i'm all about FALL. so this week for makin' it monday i wanted to do an outdoors project since we're coming up on FALL (guys...do you know what my favorite season is yet?) and the warm weather won't be here for much longer!

we made rainbow bubble art! here's what to do:

you will need bubbles, empty containers, a bubble wand, and food coloring. i happened to have some old clear bubble containers in my parents' garage (probably from when i was little) so i used these. it was easy for norah to see the colors this way. but any container will do!

fill your containers with the desired amounts of bubbles. i only used a small amount since norah likes to dump her bubbles in the grass and stomp in them (::side eye::). just mix a few drops of food coloring (watercolor paint would also work) into the bubbles and shake well. that's it!

blow the bubbles in the general direction of a piece of paper, blank canvas, etc. i had mark help me with this since norah couldn't really follow my directions. a lot of the time he chased her around trying to catch her bubbles on the paper haha.

i love her bubble blowing faces

loving it!

my favorite of the finished pages. i'm going to add this to the string of her drawings/paintings that i hung in her room.


**food coloring WILL stain cement so i would keep this activity in the grass!**
