Now for a SUPER FUN post from Dru!! Love this idea!
Hi Everyone! I’m Dru from Polka Dot Poplars and I am thrilled to be visiting today on Nap Time Creations for the Summer Fun Series. Thanks Emily for having me. I am a mom to four and grandmother to eleven and I’m always looking for fun ways to spend time with my family. This Summer Fun Series has given me so many ideas. Be sure to check out all the ideas.
In our family our summers consist of a lot of outside time which includes swimming and anything to do with water. Summer and water simply go hand in hand. Bubbles are also a hit with the kids and this activity is always a popular one. I get asked all the time if we can do “Foamy Fun” and I love the fact that it’s quick and inexpensive to do.
Here’s what we do:
- Gather a large plastic bin, 3/4 cup of dish soap, 1 quart of water, food coloring, and a mixer.
- Combine the water and soap in the plastic bin. Combine together with the mixer on high speed.
- Continue beating until suds form peaks (approximately 5-6 minutes).
- The mixture will continue to grow and become thicker.
- Optional: Add a few drops of food coloring and lightly blend with a spoon.
This foam is a blast and even the adults get involved. I think next time I may make enough to fill a small kiddy pool. The foam lasts for about an hour and sometimes more; plenty of time for everyone to cool off and have a great time. Give it a try!
We would love for you to connect with us over at Polka Dot Poplars. You can also find us on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.
Have a great summer!

that’s almost looks like too much fun! i have seen where you could use the foam to tie dye too – course you wouldn’t want to play in that unless you don’t mind turning colors. Foam is fun for all ages! Thanks for sharing the idea with us at Snickerdoodle!
