exploring bubbles through the senses

[Heather Haynes]

Most kids love blowing bubbles, and here are a few ways to make bubbles a learning experience. Use scented bubbles to involve the sense of smell. I think the most common are blueberry and bubble-gum. Have the kids catch the bubbles in their hands and feel the slimy-ness...its great!! Catch a bubble on the wand and point out all the colors flowing through the bubble. Lastly, most bubbles (that I've used anyway) will remain in form if they land on the carpet. Have the kids stay really quiet and listen to the bubbles as they pop. Gannon loves this! Obviously I left out the sense of taste, remind the kids that bubbles are not for eating!
