How to Make This Thing 1 and Thing 2 Bubble Art

Step 1

Start by downloading the Thing 1 and Thing 2 Template. Make certain to lay out something to keep the mess contained. 

Step 2

Put the bubble wrap with the painted side down onto a piece of cardstock. Gently press, but not too hard or it will smear.  Lift up and let the paint dry. (Don’t rush this as it needs to dry completely) Repeat this entire process but with the blue paint.

Step 3

Open up the template and print the shirts on the red painted paper and the hair on the blue paper. Once that is done, print the faces on white paper. 

Step 4

Cut out the pieces and assemble them by gluing them onto colored paper. (You might need two pieces of cardstock because this activity is big!)
