Bubble Prints
Blow into soapy paint until the foam climbs over the rim of the mug, then lay paper on top: every burst bubble leaves a thin ring. Poke a hole near the top of the straw first so nothing can be sucked up.
What you need
- A mug
- Washing-up liquid
- Paints or ink you already have
- A drinking straw
- Paper
- A tray
How to play
- Mix a spoon of paint, a squirt of washing-up liquid and a little water in a mug.
- Poke a small hole near the top of the straw so nothing can be sucked back up.
- Stand the mug on a tray and blow through the straw until coloured foam rises over the rim.
- Lay a sheet of paper on the foam and lift it straight up again.
- Repeat with a second colour on the same sheet so the rings overlap.
- Leave the prints to dry and rinse the mug before anyone reaches for it.
