How to Make Bubble Cards

The chocolate muffin tree has a tutorial for how to make cards using paint bubbles however the idea of having children put straws with paint at the other end of the straw seems really risky.  Instead just using a bubble want will do the trick.  Crayola makes a paint bubble but beware they're really messy and not very washable.  Make sure to lay down lots of newspaper even if you do this outside.
