Fun Bubble Activities to Do with Your Kids Highland Joker -The Bubble Man

All kids are fans of bubbles. There’s a reason bubble shows for kids’ parties are pretty popular, you know. However, it does not mean that your little ones have to wait for the next party before they could have some fun with bubbles. Kids need all the fun they can get, especially during these times when their activities are still quite limited because of the pandemic. If you want to give the kids you love most the gift of a fun, bubbly afternoon right in your own yard, here are some great ideas for some bubble-filled activities from The Highland Joker – the bubble man himself:

5 Ways Your Kids Can Have Fun with Bubbles

Use Paper Bubble Cones

If you want to impress your kids with giant bubbles, you can make a paper cone by simply rolling an 8-½ x 11-inch paper. Don’t forget to tape the smaller end to keep the cone shape in place. Cut the wide end so that you get a circular opening and make sure there are no rough edges that could burst the bubbles. Stand the cone in a shallow dish filled with bubble solution, and let it soak up the solution for a few seconds. Then, lift the cone to your so you can blow on the small end of the cone. Blow a steady stream of air for the bubbles to grow even bigger. You can pinch the wide end carefully to release the bubble.

Create Your Own Superbubbles

You can create your very own superbubbles with this recipe: Ingredients

1 packet of unflavored gelatin
1 cup of boiled water
1 ½ to 2 oz of glycerin
8 ½ oz of Johnson’s Baby shampoo

Simply mix the gelatin and hot water until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved. Add the glycerin and shampoo. Stir gently and wait for the solution to cool. Enjoy!

Make Bubble Art

If you don’t mind a little mess, this is the perfect activity to do with your children. Make sure to enjoy this activity outdoors or you’ll be dealing with paint splatter all over your furniture! Prepare some bowls for bubble solution as well as tempera paints in different colours. Have one bowl of bubble solution for each tempera paint colour that you have. You should also have a few pieces of paper. Pour equal amounts of bubble solution into all the bowls and mix in a teaspoon of tempera paint into every bowl of solution. Stir gently. Have your kid choose the first colour and let them blow a bubble. Every time your kid blows a bubble, you need to “catch” it with the paper. Every bursting bubble will make a unique splatter. When you’re happy with your artwork, switch places with your kid so they can also make their own masterpiece.

Do a Lava Lamp Experiment

You can make your very own lava lamp with your kids with these:

Clear pint glass
Water
Vegetable oil
Salt

Fill the glass with water up to a third of the way. Add half an inch of oil to the water. Notice the oil floating due to the fact that it is less dense. Now watch the magic happen as you sprinkle some salt. You can also experiment with other types of powdery substances to see if you get the same effects.

Conclusion

Those are just some ideas for activities that make use of bubbles that your kids will surely enjoy. These are perfect for when your kids are bored or looking for something else to do. Of course, if you’re having a party, even an intimate one with just a few family members and friends, having a bubble show for kids would be so much better.
