Have you made bubble foam yet?

People – I am all about bandwagons and bubble foam is a bandwagon you need to get on. The best part is: you have all the supplies to make bubble foam today. All you need to do it get on board.

Bubble trucks is just one way to play with bubble foam – a sensory material that I first learned about from Fun at Home with Kids.

  • Bubble bath / body wash (make sure it’s tear free)
  • Water
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • ALSO – construction trucks

Like I said – couldn’t be easier!!

The magic of bubble foam is a 2:1 ratio – 2 parts bubble bath to 1 part water. For this bubble trucks activity, I used 1/2 cup bubble bath with 1/4 cup of water for each color. I added in a few drops of food coloring to make it just a little more special.

The magical part is this…

You whip it. Grab a hand mixer and start whipping. You want to whip it into “stiff peaks” – you’ll know when you get there.

Now it’s time for bubble trucks

I dumped two batches of bubble foam into our favorite storage container and added in a bunch of construction trucks.

Construction trucks just have a way of being perfect for sensory bins. They invite so much playing.

My kids pushed their bubble foam up and down the bin, working together to build with the bubble foam.

There are so many easy ways to play!
