Fun Bubble Activities to do at home with your Preschoolers



Below are a couple of fun bubble activities to make at home and enjoy with your preschooler.  These are great motor skill and scientific activities.  I know my grandchildren love bubbles.  Whether young or old, I think we all like bubbles, making bubbles and being creative.

#1.  Create Colorful Bubble Prints.  This fun activity involves motor skills.  What you will need is small bowls, food coloring, a little water, some dish soap and a straw.  In about 2-3 small bowls add a little water, a couple of drops of dish soap and a few drops of food coloring.  Mix together and then have fun making bubbles with your straw.  Once you’ve made bubbles in the 1st bowl, take a piece of paper and place it over the bubbles, on top of the bowl.  Give it a few seconds, lift and you’ve made a colorful bubble print.  Your imagination with the designs you creative are so fun.  A video was posted on YouTube and FB, Ft.

#2. Rainbow Snake Bubbles.  This activity is a building and breathing activity.  What you will need is an empty plastic bottle, a towel or sock, food coloring, a rubber band, scissors, dish soap, water and a shallow bowl or plate.  Cut the end of the bottle off, then take a towel or sock and place it securely to the bottom of the bottle using a rubber band.  Next take different colors of food coloring and place small dots around the bottom of the material.  Then dip that into your solution and blow air into the bottle and watch what happens.  A snake like array of bubbles come out in all different colors!  A video was posted on YouTube and FB, Ft.

💬12 Strategies to Promote Executive Function Article Source :  Childcare Education Institute, November 2020 Executive functions are a set of skills that allow us to successfully navigate the tasks and challenges of everyday life. The area of the brain where these skills reside is not fully developed until early adulthood. The strategies here are helpful for people of all ages.  Keep in mind, different strategies will work for different people. Remain creative and open to altering these suggestions to work for you and your children Consistent routines - Learning the predictable flow of the daily routine is an important executive function. Create a daily schedule that promotes security and has a few downtime periods as possible. Transition children in small groups, rather than moving large groups through the routine all at once.

Helping our little ones understand the importance of these safety precautions can make all of this less intimating and can help them better adjust to the different rules and guidelines when going out in public. One thing parents can do is to simply talk to your kids. Telling them there is a germ or a virus outside that is making people very sick and here are some of the ways we can protect ourselves and others from getting sick. Opening up this dialogue with the kids helps them understand that they are helping keep themselves safe as well as their family and friends safe. When someone thinks of a superhero what comes to mind? Caps, superpowers, bravery and MASK. Telling kids they are active superheros during this time is a great way to bri...
