Kids Activities With Bowls

Bowls are handy to have for quick toddler and preschool activities such as sponge water transfer, bubble sensory play and lots of other fun activities.

Sponge water transfer

Can you transfer the water with the help of a sponge? The sponge will soak up the water, your child can squeeze it out to turn it into water again. Magic!

When the weather is warm, this is a good activity to keep the kids entertained with little setup and low cost. You only need water, bowls and sponges to keep your kids entertained in the summer. They transfer water from one bowl to the next.

This is a great activity for strengthening the muscles of your kid’s hands and fingers, and it is also a good way to cool off on a warm day.

Bubble foam sensory play

This bubble foam sensory activity is squeaky clean messy play.

Take tear-free bubble bath, and whip it up with water and food coloring. Make as many batches of different colors as you need.

Kids can use their imagination and play with this bubble sensory bin any way they choose.

Bubble sensory play

“Let’s see how big a bubble you can blow with this straw and bubble solution!” or “See how mummy blows bubbles”. You say to your kids as they shriek with delight. Bubbles are fun!

I like this activity because it is so simple, requiring only a few basic supplies and you can make your own bubble solution. Older kids can blow the bubbles themselves and younger kids can play with the bubbles as you blow. Just add bubble solution to a bowl, add food coloring and blow away, letting your kids play.

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup bubble bath or dish soap

Chickpea scoop

Dried beans is a sensory delight to play with, and one kids are sure to love playing with over and over again.

I like this activity because it is simple, inexpensive, and you can use different types of beans (or a combination) for your kids to play with.

You just need some beans, a big bowl, a sensory tub, scoops and a few smaller containers to play.
