Description
Create a vibrant and fun-filled colorful foam bubble pile perfect for kids to enjoy hours of sensory play.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup baby shampoo or tear-free dish soap
- 1/2 cup warm water
- Food coloring (liquid or gel)
- Optional: essential oils, glitter, scoops, toys, funnels, spatulas
Instructions
- Begin by measuring 1/4 cup of baby shampoo or tear-free dish soap and pouring it into a large mixing bowl.
- Measure 1/2 cup of warm water and add it to the bowl with the shampoo.
- Use a whisk or electric mixer to whip the mixture on high speed until it becomes fluffy and aerated.
- Once you’ve achieved the desired fluffiness, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and gently stir until the color is evenly distributed.
- If you want to create more colors, repeat steps 1-4 using different food coloring for each batch.
- Once you have several bowls of fluffy colored foam, layer them in a bin or large container to create a vibrant, colorful bubble pile.
- Set out tools like scoops, funnels, and spatulas for children to use to interact with the foam and explore different textures.
- Encourage creative play by prompting kids to mix colors and create their unique designs.
Notes
- For an added sensory experience, consider mixing in a few drops of essential oils to give the foam a pleasant fragrance, but avoid any spiritual connotations.
- If you want to add some sparkle to your foam, try incorporating glitter. Just be mindful that it can be messy, so prepare for some cleanup afterward.
