7 Ideas to Incorporate Bubbles into Playtime with Kids

Children are fond of bubbles because it’s a lot of fun, especially for their innocent, young minds. However, playing with bubbles isn’t only limited to bubble-popping fun–there’s more you can do. If you’re looking for ideas on how to incorporate bubbles into your next playtime with your kids, we’ve got you covered. Here are some ideas to use:

1. Let the Wind Make the Bubbles

There is more than one way to make bubbles with your bubble wand. Some people might think that blowing on them directly is the best and only way; however, there is a more fun way of having this playdate with your kids. If you’re playing on a windy day, you can let the wind run its course and blow on the bubble wand to make giant bubbles. Guaranteed, this is a fun way of spending playtime with your kids, and their imagination will be activated by what they’re seeing.

2. Blow Bubbles with Your Hands

Another fun way of using bubbles in your playtime is by using your hands. Fully immerse one hand into the solution, then make an OK sign with your thumb and forefinger. Then, pull your hand out and blow the soap bubbles inside your thumb and forefinger.

3. Catch the Biggest Bubble

Kids are already naturally fascinated by bubbles, so what more if it’s bigger-sized bubbles? Tell your kids to try to catch the biggest bubble as you continuously blow bubbles from the bubble wand. 

4. Catch Bubbles with Wet Hands

You can teach your kids to catch big bubbles with their hands by immersing both hands in the bubble mixture. They can then chase or catch or let the giant bubbles settle on their hands. Guaranteed that they won’t pop that easily. 

5. Bounce the Bubbles

Materials like fleece and wool will bounce bubbles, which is a fun thing to incorporate into your next playdate with your kids. You might need patience, determination and a gentle hand to succeed, but you can nail this easily with a little bit of practice. 

6. Blow Bubbles Inside Bubbles

It’s easy to blow a bubble inside a bubble. First, you just need to make a big bubble, then while the bubble is still floating in the air, blow into the bubble wall with the right amount of pressure. If you get it right, you’ll successfully make a tiny bubble inside the bigger one!

7. Blow Bubbles onto a Tabletop

This is another fun activity you can incorporate into your bubble playdate. All you need to do is get a table and wet the top with bubble solution so that bubbles won’t pop right away when they land on the surface.  However, you don’t want to use a wooden table. Instead, opt for a waterproof table or your own kids’ plastic table. Then, use straws dipped in bubble solution to blow bubbles directly onto the surface. You can create a bubble chain like a caterpillar or a snake, or even a flower.

In any way you incorporate it, bubbles are undeniable fun. Plus, kids are always fascinated by tiny bubbles that come from just a soapy solution.
