Materials:
Liquid dish soap
Small pitcher of water
Red, blue, and yellow food coloring
Large mixing bowl
Hand mixer
Large plastic tub to contain your soap foam
Directions: Pour about three tablespoons of dish soap into the mixing bowl. Add an equal amount of water to the bowl. Add several drops of red coloring. Mix on high speed for several minutes until the foam forms peaks. When you’re ready, pour the foam into the large plastic tub. Rinse your bowl and beaters, and repeat the process, adding the blue coloring this time. Beat on high speed until it forms peaks. Dump it into the large tub. Repeat, adding the yellow coloring. When it forms peaks, pour it into the tub. We made a fourth batch, leaving it white.
Add spoons and cups, or just invite your child to scoop it up in his hands. Explore the foam, touching it, scooping it up and blowing it, and even putting a little on his face! If you’re concerned about your little one eating it or getting it in his eyes, use baby shampoo instead of dish soap. Unfortunately, the foam won’t last too long, so plan to whip it up and use it right away. It’s great, clean fun while it lasts!
