SUMMER BUBBLE FUN!
Our little friends worked hard on this activity for the longest time (some stayed at this table for over an hour!)
Punch a hole in the top side of the cup to fit the "bendy" straw in, stretch cheesecloth over a plastic cup filled with Dawn (its the best soap to use) dish soap and water) then wrap a rubber band around it! Let the friends know not to suck in (although some will at first but it doesnt hurt them and they learn quick)! We talked about the size, texture, what happens if we blow softly, hard, slowly, quickly, we even tried to cover the whole tray, then the whole table!
I love how this friend is moving her body so the bubbles dont go in her face, thats problem solving!! This is also great for teachers because our floor and table get super clean :)
I was looking for items to add to the pool of water outside and came across an old vinyl sign that we dont use anymore and wondered what the kids could do with this! I laid it out and another teacher suggested adding dish soap to make it slippery and guess what - so much fun!!!
One of our favorite water tools are a simple hose from Home Depot attached to a funnel (you have to find a funnel that fits snuggly into the hose)!
