Activity

Break out the bubbles on a windy day! How big or how small can children make their bubbles? Can they chase the bubbles and try to catch them in their hands? 

How does this activity change on a calm day without wind? 

Materials

Nature provides the wind for this activity—all you need to provide are the bubbles!

Skill Building

As children observe bubbles being carried on the wind, they explore force and motion and observe how invisible forces, like wind, affect the things around them. As they reach for the bubbles, they are strengthening hand-eye coordination
