Bubble bubble bubble bubble…POP!
Let’s make some BIG bubbles together! Here is the recipe for GIANT bubbles friends… 6 cups of warm water 1/2 cup of blue Dawn dish detergent 1 tablespoon of glycerin Mix all the ingredients gently.

I can’t wait to see some photos of your beautiful bubbles! Bubble wand instructions coming soon!

The Adventures with Mr Stick Man
Hello friends! The next time you go for a walk look closely for a stick on the ground. I chose a stick that had a long line and then two smaller lines that made a triangle shape that I thought looked like legs. Look for a smaller stick that you could use for arms. See? Have an adult help you with this part! I used a figure 8 type loop to join the two sticks together with twine and then made a knot. Now it is time to dress your stick friends! I used embroidery floss I purchased at Dollarama and wrapped my stick person with different colours. You can…
