Thanks to teacher Beth for making the special wands for us! We used\u00a0this <strong>Recipe for Giant Bubbles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6 cups of warm water<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup of Blue Dawn original dishwashing detergent<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp\u00a0of corn syrup (or glycerin, if you happen to have some)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix all of the ingredients together (gently!). The bubble liquid gets better the longer it sits, it should sit overnight at least. The solution gets better with age and should last a while! Tip: just dip wand into the solution, don\u2019t stir or swish, otherwise it\u00a0creates small bubbles and stops working.<\/p>\n<p>It took some practice. Grandma was modeling and soon- success!

What a wonderful sensory discovery! What happens when you touch a bubble? How does it feel? Show your toddler how to blow gently and slowly, show them how to pop bubbles by clapping them between your hands. What a delight and endless fun as they will be chasing after the bubbles to do it again, and again! Good for their physical development too. By talking about different actions and textures you will help children grow their vocabulary as well.<\/p>\n<p>By adding songs you will enrich their experience.
