The other day I set up an activity for the children in the nap room to do when they woke up if they wanted. All that was required was some bubble mixture/ wand, food coloring, and some white paper.
They loved watching as their paper became a bright explosion of colour with each breath.
As they blew through the wand, the dyed mixture would drip, splash,and pop onto the paper and mix with the other colours creating even more of a colourful collage.
Some children had to be reminded to not put the bubble wand right up to their lips... Or this would happen... Haha.
"Eww, soapy"
Something we noticed after the pictures had dried, is how bright and vivid the colour becomes when you hold the paper up to sunlight. We don't know exactly why it does that, but think it's because the soapy substance makes it more transparent, therefore sun passes through easier. The children thought this was super cool.

WOW. That is very interesting how different those pictures look in the sun. Thanks for sharing this discovery.
