Bubble Wrap Art is a therapeutic form of process art for kids.  After a bad day, they can do some bubble wrap painting to cure their bad day.  The results are so cool, you may even want to frame it!

Bubble Wrap Art

So I picked up J from school the other day and I could see the look in his eyes when he was walking to my car. The look no mom wants to see… You can tell it was a bad day.

There is the one kid in his class, you know the one, the super popular one that decides who everyone else likes. Well, today he decided that they weren’t going to include J on the playground.  As a mom, you wanna stomp right into the school find that kid, and teach him a thing or two.

Instead, I made a few changes to a process art project I had planned for the weekend to relive some of J’s stress.
