Today, we are making an extremely simple but fun artwork. All we will need is paper and some liquid paint in bottles.
Abstract Art
Fold the paper half and open again. Get the kids to pour paint all over the paper. The kids will love pouring paint all over!
Fold the paper half and flatten it, spreading the paint inside along the way.
Slowly unfold the paper and the kids will be surprised to discover how the paints look like now!
This is one quick, simple and fun project to do with the kids π

Today we are going to have fun with bubbles!
Bubble print art
We’ll need a shallow bowl, water, washing-up liquid and paints
Pour water into a shallow bowl
Add the washing-up liquid
Squeeze in some red paint
Using a balloon pump, pump up the mixture. I refrained from letting the kids use straw to blow the mixture as kids are kids, they might accidentally SUCK the mixture instead of BLOWING!
Keep pumping the mixture until the bubbles are almost over the edge of the dish
Place a piece of paper on the bubbles until they popped
If you don’t get the desired amount of bubbles, add more washing up liquid. Sometimes, the bubbles are too faint, add more paint into the mixture in that case
There, better now
Repeat the process until you covered the entire paper
You may want to add more colours to the mixture
And MORE paints! π
If the mixture gets too dark as a result of mixing too many colours, discard the mixture and start all over again
The kids and their bubble print art π
