Pop Art

We saw this craft on TV quite sometime back. It's looks fun for the kid but messy for the mommy. Definitely a craft that requires you to put on an apron or old clothes unless you want to decorate your shirt too!

Materials needed:
  • Glasses or cups
  • Washing detergent
  • Water
  • Straws
  • Paints, assorted colours
  • Paper

How to do it:

  1. Mix 1 part water with 3 parts washing detergent in a glass.
  2. Add in 4 parts paint to the above.
  3. Use a straw to stir it.
  4. Have your child blow OUT through the straw slowly to create bubbles.
  5. Press the paper on the glass to pop the bubbles.
  6. Remove the paper and you will see the pop marks.
  7. Have 2 or 3 colours to make is colourful.
  8. Makes a nice wrapping paper!
Note:
  • DO NOT use disposable cups because they are too light and might topple over when the child press the paper over it.
  • Try using different sizes of glass, cup or even bowl to have different effect.
