Bubble wands

This week, (as well as the usual puzzles, toys and games on offer) we made bubble wands.  Between us we made lots of different kinds of bubble wands.  Ones made of garden wire and beads, string and straws, wooden sticks and pipe cleaners and straws taped together!  After lunch, we took them all outside, with some bubble solution (homemade with water and washing-up liquid) and made lots of bubbles.  You can see some of them in the pictures below!  If you want to make better bubbles, add a bit of glycerin to your solution (recipes here: http://bubbleblowers.com/homemade.html).

A couple of us went for an incredibly foggy walk at Fyne Court afterwards, it was quite spooky, as you could hardly see anything!

This week, we welcomed some more new families to our group - it's always lovely to meet other home-educating families, so please do get in touch with us if you would like any more information about our group - tauntonhomeeducation@yahoo.com
