Adult Night: Cosmic Curiosity
Needlepoint plastic, water bottles, baby socks, and straws were turned into bubble wands at a recent workshop for early childhood educators and home visitors!
In collaboration with NMAEYC, Explora recently worked with over 60 early childhood educators at PMS Children’s Services in Farmington, NM. Educators explored developmentally appropriate STEAM investigations with bubbles, looking into surface tension, engineering bubble sculptures, creating bubble art, and comparing different bubble solutions.
Participants particularly enjoyed making bubble caterpillars with materials easily found at home: baby socks and water bottles! Everyone left with a kit of bubble wand materials, bubble solution ingredients, and activity cards to try in their centers or with their home visiting families.
