Fun with Blowing Bubbles Inside

We love sensory play and we love playing with bubbles! Combining two things my children love to do is a winning combination and loads of fun time playing – blowing bubbles inside the house on a rainy day!

I have prepared in a plastic bin we usually use for sensory play, two mugs with a bit of shampoo and water inside. And two straws. And left it like that on the floor for kids to find. Of course, I added towels under the bin, making sure most of the mess remains contained.

My toddler found the bin first and asked if she can play with it. Yes, of course, you can! Well, off she goes. I only told her not to sip but to blow through the straws. As she blew, bubbles started to pop and she was surprised. I got: “Oh mom! Look! Bubbles!”. Well, yes! And she continued to blow trying to fill in the bin.

Of course, big sister heard her and came over to see what’s going on. She was down on the floor in a second, blowing through the 2nd straw I prepared. She also enjoyed blowing directly into bubbles trying to make them pop.

And, of course, they had to touch it! My older daughter is very tactile and has to touch everything and experience everything with her finger so it was not unexpected. Next step, also expected, was them trying to get me to fill the bath! They wanted to take the bubbles with them and play!
