Bubblicious

There’s something magical and irresistible about bubbles. Here are some ideas to make bubble play even more fascinating!


DID YOU KNOW...
--Infants who can blow bubbles and lick their lips are more likely to pick up language quickly.
--Blowing helps develop kids’ diaphragms and builds muscle control necessary for singing.
--Bubble games boost hand/eye coordination and gross motor skills.



HAVE A BUBBLE CHALLENGE--

Can you catch a bubble on your tongue? elbow? nose? knee?
--Can you clap a bubble? stomp on a bubble? put your finger on a bubble? catch a bubble with 2 fingers? jump on a bubble?
-- Pretend to be bubbles. Play soft music and "float" like bubbles around the room.



SING ABOUT IT

Blow Away the Morning Dew
Blow away the morning dew,
The dew and the dew.
Blow away the morning dew,
How sweet the wind doth blow.

The Bubble Song
1 little, 2 little, 3 little bubbles
4 little, 5 little, 6 little bubbles
7 little, 8 little, 9 little bubbles
10 little bubbles go pop ,pop, pop
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles
10 little bubbles go pop, pop, pop.



BUBBLE PICASSO

Pour a small amount of bubble solution into several cups. Add 4-5 drops of food coloring to each cup (you need a good amount of coloring in the solution). Dip bubble wands into the colorful solutions and blow bubbles onto plain white paper. Allow the bubbles to settle and burst on their own. When dry, you will have beautiful note paper! (Or, frame the materpiece and hang it on the wall!)
