Blowing Bubbles

September 22nd, 2008

Nature For Kids has another kids’ activity to share….blowing bubbles! 

Halloween items have hit the stores already and one of my favorite things to do is walk up and down the aisles looking at all the fun decorations and costumes with my kids. While browsing I found a bag of tiny bubble containers that have a little wand to match. I thought it was a great idea for handing out to trick-or-treaters. Some might think it’s a trick, not giving candy, but I think it would be a treat!

We love blowing bubbles at our house. It’s a great way to spend time outside in nature. I can remember blowing bubbles off our deck for hours, looking over pastures and fields, when I was little.  Even now when I see my kids laugh and chase the bubbles floating in the breeze it makes me smile. It’s very therapeutic.

If you’re not up for buying bubbles try making them. Here’s a great recipe I came across at I Never Grew Up

Best Bubble Solution

1 Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Light Karo syrup or 2 Tablespoons Glycerin
4 Tablespoons Dishwashing liquid

Mix together and have fun!

Blowing bubbles…It’s a universal delight!

    My boys love blowing bubbles too. I’ve never tried making them before, but that’s a great idea for when I run out - I always have those ingredients in the house.
