Bubble Painting and a Little Entrepreneur

Yesterday Tottie was bored. It was a beautiful day outside but she was tired of her sidewalk chalk, scooter, and bike. It was time for something new to do. Thank goodness for bubble painting! What is bubble painting you ask? Read on…

I got out our large jug of bubble solution, some food coloring, small containers, and some paper. (If you don’t have bubble solution, dish soap mixed with a little bit of water makes a good bubble solution.) I poured a small amount of bubble solution into each container then added different food coloring to each container.

Tottie then dipped her bubble wand into a container and blew bubbles onto the paper. When they popped, they “painted” the paper! She has so much fun doing it! Just a few notes though…She made a mess dripping colored bubble solution all over the place so make sure when you do it, to do it outside too. Also, beware because the bubbles do pop in your face.

All said and done, Tottie made seven paintings. She liked her paintings so much that she decided to try to sell them to earn a little money…

Sure, why not? I made art and sold it when I was a kid too. So, I helped her set up a little stand at the end of our driveway. We set it up around the time we knew that our neighbors would be coming home from work.

My little entrepreneur sold her paintings for $0.25 a piece and sold four paintings! She was so proud of herself for making a dollar! The neighbors were pretty impressed with her bubble paintings and she even sold one to a neighbor we had never met.

Of course, Nutty got a bit jealous and decided she wanted to try bubble painting too…

She didn’t sell her painting but had fun making it. She wants to try her hand at being an entrepreneur by having a cookie stand this summer…

Have your kids tried bubble painting? Have they ever set up a stand to make money?
