Make some bubble magic Activity
Make bubble mixture at home to entertain and engage your tamariki.
Why do it?
- Blowing bubbles is a very soothing activity, and can be a way for a child to become calm again.
- It can be enjoyed inside and outside.
- It’s a fun activity to do with groups of children.
How to do it
You’ll need: One cup of water, 1/4 cup dishwashing liquid, 2 teaspoons of corn syrup (optional), a clean container, a pipe cleaner or some bendy wire.
- Bubble mix: Gently stir the water, dishwash and syrup together, then pour the mix into your container.
- Bend one end of your wire so that it forms a small circle. Or find something with a closed circle, like scissor and whisk handles, or a tea strainer.
- Dip the wand into your bubble mix. Can you see some in your circle?! If so, gently blow through the circle… bubble magic!
Easy option: Buy your first bubble mix and just top it up when you run out.
