The infants often point out the bubbles that form in the sink when washing their hands. To further extend this interest, Rebecca brought out a giant bin full of water and soap along with some cooking whisks.
Raelynn and Ava were first to jump in. Ava went straight for the half whisk and dipped it in the water. After blowing on it, she figured out that she could use the half whisk as a bubble wand and was able to make a bubble! What a clever and creative way to use the whisk. Raelynn then grabbed her own whisk and helped mix the soap into the water.
Raelynn held her whisk up in the air, proudly displaying the bubbles she scooped up. George noticed the suds forming and stuck his hand in. A big smile appeared on his face when he pulled his hand back out and found it covered in the suds. He then reached both hands back in for some more, cupping them in his hands.
Rebecca handed Leila the bottle of Dawn soap and she was so excited to pour some into the water by herself.
Lloyd had fun picking up the bubbles using a tiny metal whisk and flinging clusters of suds through the air. When he was done with that, he dropped the whisk into the bin and it sunk to the bottom. Lloyd saw the whisk disappear beneath the layer of bubbles at the surface and looked to Rebecca with a confused expression as if to say, “where did it go??”
Rebecca then suggested he move the bubbles out of the way with his hands. Lloyd gave it a try and sure enough, the whisk was there!
Unfortunately, the bin ended up breaking so we brought the whisks over to the carpet where George, Lloyd, and Leila popped bubbles with the whisks.
As an extension to this activity we will bring out the whisks for a cooking experience.
