Summer Fun – Bubble Bin

Summer officially kicks off around here in a couple weeks, but with all the great weather, I’m starting to pull together some quick and fun summer activities for the kiddies. Last week we declared it bubble season and put a ‘Bubble Bin’ together. (The bin is kept in the garage, having everything in one place makes it easier to keep track of parts and pieces.)  Once the bin was assembled, a bubble party ensued and now we can have a bubble party anytime.
Want to be the mom with the great bubble party idea? It’s a fun reward for behavior, a job well done, chore charts, a cure for the afternoon grumpies and what do we do now’s. All you need is a container, a big jug of bubbles, and a mess of bubble wands. Ice cream and popsicles are optional.
(All items were purchased at Target – the mess of bubble wands was a 25 pack for under $5.)
(I made this recipe on my Pinterest board and it worked really, really well, but it was a little bit sticky with the Karo syrup and my kids tend to dump bubbles by accident a lot….)
