The recipe for bubble foam is so easy.

Here’s the 411 for making bubble foam (get ready to be blown away by its ease!).

• Tear free bubble bath or body wash
• Water
• (optional) food coloring

THAT’S IT. I told you this was easy.

For this bubble foam bath activity, I made 3 batches of bubble foam (pink, turquoise, and purple). You can make more or less but each batch followed this same recipe:

Combine together (add food coloring if you like) and whip together with a hand mixer (or stand mixer or blender) until stiff peaks form. You’re making a bubble meringue (wink).

Repeat for additional colors and head to the bath tub.

Some safety rules for bubble foam bath

You can play with bubble foam anywhere.

• Inside with trucks
• As a baking station
• Outside in a water table

But this time, we put it in the bowls in the bath tub.

This gets slippery.

Our rules were: NO STANDING. Sitting only.

You can put a towel down for your child to sit on to cut down on some of slippery.

Add some supplies to make it a great bubble foam bath

To make this even more fun, we added whisks, funnels, spoons, and cups to play with, mix, and create.

He had a ball.

As he played, he experimented with combining colors and imaginative play. It was amazing.

When my son was “done” with the bubble foam part, we turned on the bath tub and turned this into one EPIC bubble bath.

A two for one activity.

I sat on the floor to supervise and sat for an hour. It was glorious.
