16. Studying BUBBLES. There is an excellent book, 'Bubble Magic' by Tom Noddy that is full of suggestions for different ways to blow bubbles. This a cheap and really fun activity. It requires 2 to 3 straws and a 3 foot piece of cotton string for each girl and a bottle of Dawn dish detergent (the blue kind supposedly worked best). Mixture: 1 TBSP Dawn to 1 cup water, or 1 cup Dawn to 1 gallon water. The girls really enjoyed experimenting with blowing bubble structures on the ground (bubbles won't break if the area where the bubble will sit is wet first). They also loved making large bubbles by creating a frame using two straws and the string."
