For bubbles last year I got the sword things from walmart and love them. You just take the handle out and wave it and it makes lots of bubbles and some pretty big ones too. I just kept refilling the wands all summer and grabbed some extra at the end of the year so even if I only fill one for me to hold each child can have their own handle to keep coming back for more.
Yes agreed these are awesome!
We spent 3 hours outside this morning and almost 2 this afternoon - I am SO ready for the return of weather that allows me entire program to be outside cause they eat, sleep and play so much better in the fresh air and sunshine!
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
