Don’t underestimate the magic of bubbles. Blowing bubbles is an activity I remind myself to return to at intervals, since children engage with them differently as they age. The last time we did bubbles, Veronika was sitting up and just starting to crawl. Now, she’s fast as can be, and wanted to scoot after them and pop them!

So the instructions for today’s activity: Open up a bottle of bubbles and blow!

I pointed them out to Veronika, and how they shimmered and floated.

This little girl wants to walk, so it was also fun to hold her at the waist and help her reach out for them.

A perfect sunlit pause.
