Glow in the Dark Bubbles!

Glow Stick Bubbles

Setting: outside

Materials:

Non-Toxic Glow Sticks or Highlighters

Clear Plastic Cups

Scissors

Bubble Liquid

Bubble Blowing Wands

Paper towels (for clean up)

Instructions:

1. Add bubble liquid to clear plastic cups.

2. Take glow sticks or highlighters and cut with scissors and let them soak in the bubble liquid.

3. Remove outside contents (outside of the glowstick or the highlighter pen) from the liquid.

2. Mix together with bubble blowing wands.

4. Go outside and blow florescent bubbles!

Purpose: This activity work on oral stimulation through blowing bubbles. It also works on the individual’s senses by viewing the bubbles at a florescent color spectrum and expanding their visual exposure. Touching the bubbles could also lead to another touch sensory experience. Holding the bubble wand and twisting it through the bubbles could also help pinch grips that expand fine motor skills needed in writing and scissor activities used in school.
