Thank you for joining our Beat the Heat Challenge! We're kicking things off with a really fun summer activity-- a water bubble!


Materials Needed:
  Water Hose
  Big Roll of Plastic Sheeting
  Duct Tape
  Optional Supplies (food coloring, glitter, etc)


Directions:
  Fold the plastic sheeting in half
  Tape the three open sides with duct tape (leave open a small hole for hose)
  Fill up the water bubble (add the food coloring and/or glitter)
  Duct tape the hole closed

What color food coloring would you use? Would your kids like water added to the top of the bubble so it became a slip and slide?

If you haven't signed up for the Beat the Heat Challenge yet, you can do so here.

Awesome idea! My boys would like different colors....one blue and one green, I bet. And I'm sure they'd want to turn it into a slip-n-slide.

I did that as a kid! So much fun, but I don't have a yard to do it in. :(
