Printing with Bubble Wrap

My kids love, love, love painting and any kind of printing activity. This one is super simple and very cost effective!

What you need:

Paint (We generally use poster paint. The colours are vibrant and it doesn't cost the earth)
Paintbrushes
Paper to print onto
Bubble Wrap

I am such a collector that I had loads of bubble wrap lying around from various parcels we have received  I cut the bubble wrap into small easy to handle sizes approx 10cm squarish shapes.
The children then paint the bubble wrap and turn is over and press firmly onto their page to make a print. The bubbles make a fabulous effect, especially when they become overlapped.




Master E all ready to print.
