• 1 cup of soap flakes
• 2 gallons of warm water
• A very large container ( a large plastic storage container is good)
• A warm day (this is a good outside activity)
• Egg beaters
• Ice cream scoops
• Strainers
• Funnels
• Old shirts or plastic garbage bags for the kids to wear to keep clean and dry.

WHAT YOU DO:

• Dissolve the soap flakes in 2 gallons of warm water.
• Beat with an egg beater until the container is full of foam
• Let the children play in the foam with their hands.
• Children can scoop, strain and pour the foam through their fingers and funnels and anything else you can find.
• This is a good exercise in texture and its a good time to discuss the difference between solids (the strainer, the funnel, sponges) and liquids (the soapy water).
