DIY: art for small boys

Agent X and Agent N have a bathroom that is largely their own. It's pretty boring- all tan. It has an awesome world map shower curtain but that's about all.

I bought some canvas at Michael's that was in a value pack kind of thing, and saw an awesome project on Pinterest.


It was really simple, and the boys got to help make art for their bathroom! It was also messy, so do it outside. (note: the lighting in the bathroom was kind of yellowish so I brightened this picture up with Photoshop)

1. get some bubbles & some food coloring.

2. Put the bubbles into 4 small bowls. Add all of the food coloring. You need a lot of food coloring to make the bubbles show up.

3. Let kids blow bubbles onto the canvases. Do this right before bath time. Food coloring will stain skin for a little while & the quicker you get it off, the less time your kids will have blue lips & fingers.

4. Let dry. I let these dry a week- they were actually dry long before that, but I wanted to cover them with a clear coat and not have it make the bubbles run.

5. Spray with clear spray paint.

6. Hang on the wall and admire!
