I am not sure who had more fun today, the kids or me! We made our bubbles after breakfast and let them sit for at least an hour before we used them. I found this recipe from Happy Hooligans. You need cornstarch, baking powder, dawn soap, glycerin, and water. It was a bit windy today, but we still made huge bubbles and were all amazed at how wonderful this recipe was! We made bubble wands using several different tools - we used two straws with yarn to make the giant bubble wand, pipe cleaners to make smaller wands, and pulled out some cookie cutters to experiment with! It was definitely easier for my 4 year old to make the giant bubbles, my 2 year old spent most of his time running into the bubbles or using the pipe cleaner bubble wand. Just a tip: for the straw bubble wand- I made them shorter than the recommended length from Happy Hooligan so my 4 and 2 year old could have better control. I also used reusable silicon straws instead of plastic and they worked great! Here is another way to make bubbles from Mrs. Opferman!
My husband even took a break from work to come try some bubbles! It was a great whole family activity!

From my home to yoursMy family thrives on routine. When school is out or life throws us curveballs, we come up with a new routine. I want to encourage parents at home to engage in play with their children. Play is hard work for children and my goal is to enhance the play while allowing the child to lead. My hope is that this site brings people together and helps us to support each other in parenting. Feel free to add your own ideas in the comments! |
