What kid isn’t fascinated by bubbles? As a speech therapist, bubbles were a staple in my bag of tricks, guaranteed to get the most reluctant little ones engaged and communicating. At messy art camp this summer, bubble day was a fan favorite, keeping our diverse group of children ages 2-5 gleefully entertained for hours. And for my own twins (age 3.5), bubble activities have always topped the charts, which is why we do so many of them! Whether you are planning a bubble unit for your preschool classroom or just looking for fun activities to try with your little ones at home, I guarantee you’ll find something fun to try on this list!
