Looking for some fun activities for toddlers?  Make some bubbles!

Bubbles make a great outdoor play activity! Here are seven fun ways to create and play with them.

Do you have a toddler in your house? Our little guy is 2 1/2.  Not quite a preschooler, but a busy little guy who’s learning every day.   After seeing his fascination with the soap bubbles as I wash dishes, I knew he’d love to make some bubbles of his own.  Today I’m sharing seven simple activities for toddlers – all featuring bubbles.

1 – Bubbles with a bucket, some soap, and a whisk

This is for those moms like me who don’t like a lot of mess in the house and who lack the time and creativity to set up an amazing sensory experience.  It was so fun to watch my little guy get to work!
