early childhood fun

Make your own bubble solution. You can use dish soap and water, and test it until you can blow bubbles easily.

It might be fun to put the solution in the sink and let kids blow bubbles into the sink with straws. They can watch them mount up and then pop them.

The bath could be another option for this. There are usually a lot of bubble toys at the department stores for kids to use outside.

Teach kids how each bubble almost always come out in a circle no matter what the wand is. You can even show them this as well, try different wands that would look like they should make different shape bubbles.

Use different ideas around the house for bubble blowing. You can use a lot of different kitchen supplies like spoons with holes and a whisk to do some different experiments.

This site has a lot of great information for bubble week. If you do your library trip during the week you will love this list, there are quite a few books on there you can get. There are some fingerplays and songs and more. I hope you enjoy it, Im sure you will.

My kids love bubbles. We actually blow them quite often with the huge wands from the store and then this past weekend they got a bubble machine for their birthday. Of course they love. They are so mesmerized by bubbles.

With bubbles in mind, check out the bubble theme from everything preschool. They put together lots of categories to follow about fun things to do with bubbles, Im sure you will find something your kids will love.

I won’t be doing the wading pool of bubbles any time soon, but the yogurt running bubbles sounds fun.
