Enjoy this super easy (and free!) card-making project with Bubble wrap makes cool prints on cards with paint! (or any recyclable material with texture)
Kids LOVE popping bubbles in bubblewrap! Keep them busy & their fingers strong with this fun printing activity- while using up packaging to boot! (or get a sheet from UPS or Staples.) Don’t have bubblewrap handy? Look around the home for textured materials to cut into hearts!

Then, with a marker, draw a (large) heart shape onto the bubble wrap that will fit your folded paper. Cut the bubble wrap heart shape. Next, place layer of paint on the bubble wrap with a brush, and then lay it carefully face-down onto the paper, press with out moving and lift. (Set aside for more prints of various colors!)
