Bubble painting

Kids love this simple activity from Early Learning Ideas because it focuses a lot on the process: The primary effort is in mixing the paint colors, water and dish soap together, then blowing bubbles in the solution with straws. Once you have nice, big bubbles, you can then gently press pieces of paper down to make a colored impression — but the fun really lies in all that messy bubble-blowing.
