This winter has been an abnormally cold one here in Ontario. Because of this, the kids have not had the same opportunities to play outside in the snow as they typically do during the winter months.
One particularly cold day, I noticed a friend’s status on Facebook, sharing these BEAUTIFUL frozen bubbles that she made with her kids that day. We talked back and forth and she shared that it took her a few tries before she perfected the recipe.
For the recipe for Outdoor Frozen Bubbles, visit Science4MyKids.com.
Here are My Notes:
In order for this activity to work, it has to be REALLY cold. I mean REALLY cold, to the point where you won’t feel your hands if they are uncovered for more than a minute. Of course, this makes blowing bubbles a bit difficult, but it is so much fun!
I also recommend that you allow the bubble mixture to cool right down before using it to blow bubbles. I ended up letting mine sit outside for about 20 minutes prior to use.
The Results:
Who knew that we would be blowing beautiful bubbles in the snow?!
When we were at the dollar store the other day my 5 year old was asking if we could buy bubble juice. I said maybe next time, it’s not spring yet. Never thought of this activity. Guess we’ll be going back to the dollar store for some bubbles 🙂 Thanks for sharing on my Just for Kids link-up. I’ve pinned your post to our group board. Hope you visit and share again next week 🙂
A great link up! Perhaps we should consider linking to each other’s craft linkies for additional exposure? Mine is on Wednesdays: Artsy Play Wednesday.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Just didn’t want to take advantage of your following since this is my first post and you’ve been running yours for a while now 🙂

That looks like a really pretty craft! Did you get a chance for a second go at it this winter?
LOL no Victoria, but we are ready to go this summer with it!
I love this idea but not how cold it has to be 🙂 I’m sure my grandchildren would find this a lot of fun and kids never seem to freeze as quickly as I do 🙂
Yup! It does have to be cold.
