Playing outside in the spring with bubbles is the best and taking them with you to the park is fun! What kid doesn't love bubbles? I made a spring bubbles kit that will travel well and has all the necessities for a great time blowing bubbles! I REUSED a 21.8 oz. Nesquik container to make the kit (6½" tall) and our bubbles and blower fit perfect.
* supplies: container, Mod Podge, patterned paper, wide ribbon (½" to 1"), 2 brads
* cut your patterned paper- mine were 1½" and 1" strips
* apply Mod Podge in small sections and smooth paper strips down
* when the container is covered apply a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of strips and allow to dry
* cut a 2½" piece of wide cloth ribbon, fold ends under a ½", make a slit with a craft knife, push brad through
* cut a small slit in both sides of container with knife and attach your ribbon strap
in the bubbles kit: the best bubbles (or make good homemade bubbles), bubble blowers, a few small bubbles (less spilling-- find them at party stores or Walmart) for kids and any friends that come around at the park, a baggie of wipes (for the clean-freak momma like me!)
A spring adventure or exploring kit would also be fun (binoculars, magnifying glass, top, mini frisbee, bouncy ball, etc.)!! An 'outside fun kit' would make a unique kid birthday gift!! ☺
