Bubble Wrap Painting – Step-by-Step Directions

from Life After ABA Classroom

You Will Need:

• Bubble wrap (small piece)
• Washable paint
• Paintbrush or sponge
• White paper (or cardstock)
• Optional: Tape or glue

🧑‍🎨 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Lay down newspaper or a plastic tablecloth to keep your area clean. Have all your materials within reach.

Step 2: Paint the Bubble Wrap

Use a paintbrush or sponge to dab different colors of paint onto the bumpy side of the bubble wrap. You can paint in patterns, shapes, or randomly—whatever feels fun!

Step 3: Press Onto Paper

Gently press the painted side of the wrap onto a sheet of paper. You can tape the edges of the bubble wrap down for easier handling if needed.

Step 4: Lift to Reveal Your Art

Slowly lift the wrap off the paper. You’ll see a colorful, dotty print left behind!

Step 5: Let It Dry

Allow the painting to dry completely. You can hang it up, frame it, or use it to make greeting cards or wrapping paper.
