Make your own bubble solution
What You Need:
• 6 cups of water
• 2 cups of liquid dishwashing soap
• 3/4 cup of corn syrup (glucose syrup)
• large mixing bowl
• shallow pan
• pipe cleaners or wire coat hanger for
a bubble wand
• adult assistance
Activity:
Help your child to measure and combine
water, dishwashing soap and corn syrup/
glucose syrup in a large mixing bowl.
Leave for four hours and then pour into a
shallow pan.
Make bubble wands by twisting pipe
cleaners and coat hangers into circles,
squares or any closed shape - the bigger
the wand opening the bigger the bubble.
Make sure you bend any sharp edges
back so they do not make contact with
the opening and don’t forget to make a
handle with the end.
Have your child dip the wand into the
solution and gently wave their arm
through the air to make bubbles.
String art
How could we forget about string art!?
Did you make it at school? You can adapt
a string art board for kids as young as two
right up to teens. String art is a fantastic
way to pass some time concentrating
and creating something lovely. Remind
yourself how to do it right here on Kidspot

across the crayons.
