Rainbow Bubble Snake
Housingaforest.com |
It's fun, it's easy and it's bubbles, Liam will love it!
Ingredients:
Empty Water Bottle
Duct Tape or Rubber Band
Sock
Dish Soap
Food Coloring
Directions:
Start by cutting the bottom of the water bottle off. Next slide the sock over the bottom of the bottle. You can use duct tape or a rubber band to secure the sock. Pour some dish soap into a shallow container with a little bit of water and gently mix. Dip the sock covered bubble blower into the solution and gently blow. If you want to add some color you can drop the food coloring onto the sock.
Please remind your kids to blow air out not suck air in! If your child sucks in, they will be eating bubbles. Please be careful when doing this with your kids. My kids had a blast playing with these bubble snakes. We did not have any trouble with the kids inhaling, but I have had a few readers mention that their younger kids needed continual reminders. The fun will quickly end if the bubbles are inhaled!

Pasta & Beads Bracelets

Yay, we can finally use our Kool-Aid Dyed Pasta for fun :)
Ingredients:
Pipe Cleaners
Pasta
Pony Beads
Directions:
Start off with a loop fastened at the bottom of the pipe cleaner there is an end to catch the beads as you work. Bead the pipe cleaners to make their bracelets! This activity also works on fine motor skills too: fitting the beads on the pipe cleaners. Once you are about 3/4 of the way up the pipe cleaner, take the end of the pipe cleaner through the hole to latch them together and weave the excess pipe cleaner through the last bead.
