Playing with bubbles is a very satisfying sensory experience and has a distinct advantage, as baby shampoo can be used as a gentle substitute when the usual bubble liquids, washing-up liquid or soap flakes prove too harsh. However, as with all substances given to babies and young children, check for allergies first.
Organisation
Consider using a large container, such as a Tuff Spot builder's tray that children can crawl up to or sit next to. Better still, remove all clothing apart from a nappy and lift the children right into the container among the bubbles, so that they can explore with all of their bodies. Remember that bubbles are slippery, so ensure close supervision at all times.
