It's a Great Day for Bubbles!

Posted by Lynn Moore Jun 21, 2006

What will you do for outside fun today? Remember how much you had with bubbles as a child? It is a great day for bubbles!

Bubbles are great for building the muscles that children use to talk. Asking for bubbles puts that talking to good use. Chasing bubbles is great exercise. Plus bubbles are just plain fun - not to mention the giggles when hosing off sticky arms and legs when you are finished!

Bubbles don't have to cost an arm and a leg. Of course, you can buy them in little bottles at the store. You can also purchase a large bottle to refill the little ones. Let's face it, though, sometimes it is difficult to get to the store, and if you have bought bubbles they do run out quickly (even the large bottles).

Why not make your own? Squirt a little bit of dish soap (NOT THE KIND FOR DISHWASHERS) in a container. Add a little water, and you have a solution to the no bubble blues.

What will you use to blow the bubbles? First, you can always save the bubble wands from all the bubble bottles you have purchased in the past. Other great bubble blowers include plastic sewing spools, six ring soda can holders and even your fingers curved into a circle.

Have fun with bubbles today. Watch the magic of your child wanting to talk about them. Are you looking for more ways to encourage your child to talk?
