I know this blog post was from a while back but it came up on a search for swimming crafts. And luckily, I just prepared a bubble craft. I used individual plastic cups and covered most of the bottom with paint and then filled it up a little less than half way with bubble solution. I also cut a small hole in the side of the straw to avoid sucking up the soapy paint solution. It worked really well. I am definitely going to try your craft for a swimming theme story time and can't wait to use a carrot! I also thought they were thumb prints which I am sure would work too! Thanks for posting your creativity!

I used baby shampoo in our water table. Then we "made" the bubbles with egg beaters and plastic whisks. When the bubbles were done, we put some liquid watercolors on top of them. The colors were vibrant, no soap was swallowed, and the kids loved it!

I love it! I'm with Jen (must be the name), I thought it was thumbprints as well (and that could be "easier" - one less item on the list as well). You could have them blot the paper with a sponge/shower poof or a pom pom. Great ideas! Jennifer

Painting bubble wrap might have been easier and then stamping that to the paper. BUT really, it is very cute! I've used carrots before too.

I wonder if food coloring wood have help boost the color. I vaguely remember a fellow student teacher doing this lesson (bubble print) back in the day. I wonder if I still have her lesson plan. I'll look.

I like Tania's ideas. We love glitter! May have to try that.

Looks like you're still having fun creating things. Little Fun; Little Learning has been quite neglected lately. I have 4 blogs and have a hard time keeping up with them all. Thrifty Mommy and Keeping the Castle get most of my blogging time. I hope to post some more ideas this summer at Little Fun. Hope you enjoy your summer!

I wonder how plastic bubble wrap (not sure if you call it something else) would go with this activity. Just put paint on bubble side and print on paper then add the fish.

Or do the activity on blue paper and use bottle tops or the like dipped in white paint to make bubble prints? Sprinkle a bit of silver glitter on the circle prints for added effect?

It looks great, I might give it a try with bubble wrap one day next week.

Have a great day,

Tania
