Sometimes we let our baby sit in the sandbox with the bubble machine on – it seems to make him happy. On one such a summers day, we were toddler-sitting for a friend of ours while the bubbles rained down on the sandbox. Our young friend was less interested in getting sandy but was taken with the bright red water pistol in the water table. “No,” I say, “we don’t want to get wet today.” My older son saw an opportunity in that dad didn’t say “No, don’t play with the water gun”, so he filled it up and began to shoot at the bubbles. Of course, I had to quickly take a turn to show how it was done 🙂 Too much fun! Here is a 30 second video showing the action.
There isn’t much to post in terms of instructions, but this idea my son had is just too fun not to mention. All you need is a bubble maker (human or otherwise) and a water pistol. Happy shooting!
