Let's start with the bubble activity that was a success -- Bubble Wands made with pony beads and pipe cleaners. These are so easy to make, and so much fun! Our little voyagers have been working on patterns in math, and it must have made an impression on Rosetta, because she created a pattern with her pony beads when making her wand.
First, you take a pipe cleaner and bend it in half...
Like so... sort of twist the ends together on the one end; form a loop on the other.
Slide pony beads on the pointy end until you almost reach the end of the pipe cleaner.
When you have about this much left, bend the end up so there are no sharp ends.
(This one is not all the way bent, but the pictures were blurry, sorry!)
Get a bowl and some bubble liquid...
Claim your own personal bubble space....if you're Saralina,
that means far away from everyone else!
And blow....
Blow....
Blow like the wind!
And then, if you're like Spiderman...

We decided to use the Bubbles poem, at the top of the post, for a quick memorize/recite activity to go with the activity..
I also created a print practice sheet for the our kindergarten voyager:

And now ----- the not so successful, Crazy Bubbles!
This is a neat little starter kit to make all kinds of 3-d shapes that make crazy bubbles. The problem was that if you made a cube like this:
Think about how much bubble solution it would take, and the size of the container you would need in order to make bubbles! Yep, that is correct, we did not have enough solution, or a big enough container --- so NO BUBBLES!
And we did try to use the smaller blue rods to make a mini-cube, but there aren't enough in the starter kit to do that!
Maybe some other time.
How fun to make your own bubble wands! Can't wait to try this with my kids. :)
