At home rainbow soap bubbles

Here come the school holidays, and if you’re looking for a sensory activity that the kids will love, we have got you sorted.

Sensory play is an important factor for development in children — it encourages learning through curiosity, problem solving and creativity. Studies show children, and even adults, retain the most information when they are engaged with their senses, in fact, most of our fave memories are associated with one or more of our senses.

These rainbow soap bubbles have only three ingredients and will engage kids in hours of messy, sensory fun! So, let’s make some rainbow soap bubbles!

 

Assortment of kitchen items including mixing bowl, dish soap, food colouring and electric beater

First things first, you’ll need to gather some items:

  • 2 Tbsp of dish soap

  • ¼ cup of water

  • An electric beater

  • A large bowl

  • Food colouring

  • A plastic tub

  • Some space outdoors

 

The best part of this activity is that you should have most of these items at home! Let’s get into it!

 

Step one

Step two
