water and bubble exploration

We started off the day with exploring bubbles... the children and Elin had carefully followed the recipe for making extra big bubbles - and had also made  bubble wands with wire by the time I got to work (late start today, as I had the closing shift)...

After some fruit we headed out to make loads and loads of bubbles...
but there was a slight problem... we just couldn't get the bubbles to work... just the odd one (and with a special technique of wrist flicking rather than blowing... and even that was not particularly reliable) - we tried adjusting the mix, but to no avail... but we did give it a good try...


 There was time to make fairy wands.... quite by accident. I had taken some foil out to make ponds in the sandbox... but the foil was soon put to other use...


In the afternoon we played with the hose - including making rainbows, lots of water play with tubes, watering cans, buckets etc and the big plastic boxes... we addded the bubble mix at the end and used a whisk to make lots of foam... and pretended to make it snow... and used the tube to blow bubbles too...

snowfoam....

one of the few bubbles we managed... and I just had a mess about session this evening to see what sort of effects I could use and how it changed the look of the bubble.... a good mess about with technology is needed every now and again...
