Play in a Bubble!

July 9th 2010 12:14
What child ( or adult) doesn't love bubbles? Playing with bubbles is inexpensive and makes a for a fun outdoor activity on a sunny day. Set the kids up with bubbles, and then have them wash their bikes or your car!

Use giant bubbles as a birthday party activity...or during a family reunion or neighborhood event.

Put bubble solution in a small kiddie pool. Set a step stool in the center for a child to stand on. Then place a hula hoop over the child. Dip the hoop into the bubble solution and slowly lift the hoop over their head. Kids can use small bubble wands while inside the bubble to fill the giant bubble with smaller bubbles.

Waiting for the 4th of July fireworks to start can often feel like For-EVER to little ones (and big ones too!) With a few craft materials you can create glow in the dark bouncing comets to fill the space before the evening festivities begin.

Comet crafts can be made with young space enthusiasts or children who are studying outer space in school. Comets are rare finds in the night sky. Shooting out from the outer limits of the solar system, these balls of dust and ice start to melt as they approach earth, creating a brilliant tail


Bouncing Comets

You will need;
tennis ball
plastic grocery bag
clear tape
glow-in-the-dark lacing
scissors

Place a tennis ball in the middle of a plastic bag. Gather the bag around the ball. Use clear tape to secure. Cut the ends of the bag into 1-inch wide strips. Wrap glow-in-the-dark lacing around the comet, criss-crossing the surface of the ball. Tie the lacing around the neck to secure. Cover the ball and lacing with clear tape. The comet will bounce unevenly making this a good toy to improve hand-eye coordination.
