Bubble Painting

This is an activity for preschoolers , toddlers will love to watch the bubbles but unless you are aching for bubble solution all over your house, I would skip this with the under 2.5 age group!

Gather your materials. Card stock or Construction Paper will hold up well to the bubbles, some liquid paint, bubble solution and a straw.
Pour some solution into the cup along with some paint. Using the straw mix and blow to make bubbles.
Using your paper cover the cup .
Repeat until your master piece is done!

Additional Activities

For toddlers who are too little to for the bubble painting, there is always bubble catching outside! My little guy loved this , as expected!

Song!

Smile Song

A smile goes a long long way hey hey !
A smile goes a long long way hey hey !
It starts with an s right here ,
and it’s a mile to the other ear,
A smile goes a long long way!

Books!

” Corduroy” by Don Freeman is a children’s classic and one of my favorites from childhood, if you haven’t read it it’s about a little teddy bear and his desire for a real home and a little girl who needs him too!

” Where is baby’s belly button” by Karen Katz is a great little lift the flap book, and it’s like crack for toddlers! I swear I have never met one who doesn’t love this book! And an added bonus it helps them learn their body parts too!

” It’s Mine!” by Leo Lionni is a great fable about sharing and not sharing! A lesson kids of all age especially the young ones can use , often!
