Here is an easy and inexpensive way to entertain children on a warm summer day. It not only keeps them busy but exercises their bodies and their brains.
Steps
-
Obtain the necessary materials. Many of these items are sold at stores for around a dollar. Thrift Stores are also a possible source for them.
- Put approximately 3 gallons of water in your container.
- Add one half of a bottle of the liquid soap you bought.
- Put the soap bottle out of reach of the children as it is toxic.
- Watch the children so that no one falls into the container.
- Put one of the nets in the water and remove slowly so there is soap film in the holes in the net.
- Move the net though the air so the air passing through the holes in the net forms a bubble. It may take several tries to learn the best speed to the net.
-
Make sure the children stand away from each other so they do not get soap in their eyes.
Things You'll Need
- Liquid dish soap, Dawn and Joy work best
- A large plastic container for the soap and water mixture
- An assortment of nets such as fish nets, pieces of nets used in ball games such as tennis and badminton, hand held hoops with nets attached.
