Bubbles!


Thank you so much for listening! We hope that you have lots of fun with your little ones and these bubble activities!

Here is the Bubble Solution as heard on WWKI 100.5FM and some activities for your little ones!

Recipe:

1 cup water

2 Tbsp light Karo Syrup or 2 Tbsp glycerin

4 Tbsp dishwashing liquid



Bubble Activities


Human Bubble

Materials:

  • Hula Hoop
  • Wading pool
  • Bubble solution

Instructions:

  • Fill the bottom of a small wading pool with bubble solution. (Combine 1 part liquid dish soap with 12 parts water and a few drops of glycerin or Karo syrup.) Have a child stand inside a hula-hoop in the pool as you pull the hoop up around him. A human bubble! You can use a small step stool to keep little feet out of the bubble solution.


Bubble Prints


Materials:

  • Paint
  • Dishwashing liquid soap
  • Straw

Instructions:

  • Mix 1 part paint to 2 parts dishwashing liquid in a bowl. Have your children blow into the bowl with a straw. This will cause bubbles to form over the top of the bowl. Now have the kids put a piece of paper over the bowl in order to cause bubble prints to form

    Safety Tip: Put a small hole near the top of the straw so that your children can not suck up the solution
  • Extended Activity: Put several smaller containers containing different colors near each other. When your children put the paper over it. It will make cool colors.


Bubble Paper

Give each child white paper and separate container of bubble solution colored yellow and blue. As your children blow the bubbles on the paper point out that in some places the bubbles created a green design on the paper.


Wet/Dry Experiment

While blowing bubbles with the children try touching a bubble with a dry finger. Repeat using a wet finger. What happens? You will observe that bubbles break when they touch an object that is dry.





Bubble Songs

Sung to: "Ring Around the Rosie"

Blow air in our bubble.
(Move one step backward while holding hands.)
Blow air in our bubble.
(Move one step backward while holding hands.)
Bigger, bigger,
(Move one step backward while holding hands.)
We stop and pop!
(Drop hands and fall to the ground.)


The Bubble Song


One little, two little, three little bubbles
Four little, five little, six little bubbles
Seven little, eight little, nine little bubbles
Ten little bubbles go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
Ten little bubbles go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop


Bubbles All Around

(Sung to: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Bubbles floating all around (pretend to catch bubbles)
Bubbles fat and bubbles round (make a circle with arms)
Bubbles on my toes and nose (point to toes and then to nose)
Blow a bubble, up it goes! (pretend to blow bubble and point up)
Bubbles floating all around. (pretend to catch bubbles)
B..u..b. .b..l..e..s f..a..l..l. .i..n..g to...the...ground. (sing slowly while sinking to ground)
