How to Make Bubbles from Painting Paint

Lena and Petya were always full of ideas for creative experiments. One day, Lena read in a book about how to make bubbles from painting paint, and she immediately suggested to Petya that they try this experiment. It was an unusual way of painting that combined art and science in one activity. The kids gathered in the kitchen to start making bubbles and drawing with them.

“Did you know you can paint with bubbles?” Lena said, taking out the paint and water. “I read that if you mix paint with soap solution, you can create bubbles that leave interesting marks when they touch paper.”

Petya looked at his sister in surprise:

“Really? How can bubbles leave marks? I always thought bubbles just popped and disappeared.”

Lena smiled:

“Oh, this is going to be fun! We’ll make bubbles with paint and see what happens. When the bubbles pop, the paint leaves prints on the paper, and we can create a picture! It’s going to be so much fun.”

Petya, always ready for experiments:

“Awesome! Let’s try it. What do we need for this?”

Lena gathered all the necessary materials: paint, water, bubble solution (or soapy water), some straws, and white paper for painting.

“We’ll start by mixing the paint with soapy water. This will be the base for our bubbles,” Lena said as she poured the paint into a cup. “To make the bubbles, we need the paint to be a little diluted with water so the bubbles can form and leave marks.”

Lena carefully stirred the paint with the water and added a bit of soap solution. The liquid looked a little thick but was thin enough to form bubbles. Petya, watching every move, asked:

“Why the soap solution? Won’t water and paint make bubbles?”

Lena explained:

“The soap solution helps the bubbles form and stay in the air because the soap creates a film around the air inside the bubble. Without the soap, the bubbles would pop too quickly.”

Petya continued to watch with interest as Lena prepared the bubble mixture. Once the solution was ready, they began blowing bubbles through the straw. Petya was amazed as the bubbles slowly floated into the air, and when they touched the paper, they left bright marks from the paint.

“Look, the bubbles are leaving real marks!” Petya exclaimed. “It’s like painting with bubbles!”

Lena nodded and said:

“Yes, it’s not only fun, but it also lets us create unusual pictures. We can experiment with different colors and designs. When the bubbles pop, the paint stays on the paper, and we get interesting effects.”

Petya eagerly took a straw and began blowing bubbles himself, watching as each bubble left its mark. The kids quickly realized that if they carefully watched the bubbles and caught them at the right moment, they could create unique and beautiful pictures.

“It seems like this isn’t just painting, it’s a whole science,” Petya said, getting into the process. “You have to consider how strong the bubbles are so they leave beautiful prints.”

Lena laughed and added:

“Yes, it’s a mix of art and science! We can try making pictures with different colors to create colorful bubble art.”

Lena and Petya continued experimenting, adding different colors to the soapy water and painting with bubbles on a large sheet of paper. Each time, they got new interesting effects, such as a rainbow of bubbles or beautiful concentric circles.

“We can make a real art project with bubbles!” Petya said as he looked at the picture they had created together.

“Yes, and the best part is that it’s so easy to do! We only used paint, water, and soap solution,” Lena replied. “We can keep doing our bubble experiments and create a whole series of pictures!”

The kids proudly looked at their pictures, where the bubbles had left unique prints. They realized that the bubble experiment had not only taught them how to create art with science but also opened up new possibilities for creativity.

“This was the best experiment! Now we know how to make bubbles from paint and use them for painting,” Petya said, happy with the result.

“Yes, and the best part is that it’s so much fun! We can keep making pictures by experimenting with bubbles and paint. And we can try different colors,” Lena added, planning their next experiments.

In the end, Lena and Petya learned that with simple materials, they could create amazing pictures using bubbles. This experiment showed how science and art can come together to create something unique and beautiful. The kids were happy they had done such an enjoyable and educational experiment and were looking forward to their next creative adventures.
