Bubble Painting

Aiden loves water and bubbles, so yesterday, despite the lack of mud room or tiled space in our house, I set up a makeshift water table for him on our coffee table/creativity centre.

Water Table
1. Fill a larger Tupperware container with warm water.
2. Add dish soap and food colouring to the water.
3. Place water container on a little person level table. Be sure to put towels on the floor around the table.
4. Provide various toys and items for your little one to play with and marvel at their creative use of these items.

Now I could have just given him the usual water table types of toys, like cups and ducks and floating toys, but I decided to throw in a spoon, some sponges that we just used for wrapping paper making and a paintbrush. Aiden dove right in, covering himself, the table and the floor with bubbles. And then, being the creative little soul that he is, Aiden proceeded to use the water and bubbles as paint and the table as a canvas and using the paintbrush and sponges, covered the table with magnificent bubble designs. How neat is that?!

Happy bubbling,
Creatively yours,
Maya :)
