Earth Day Ocean Water Sensory Play Activity

Earth Day Ocean Water Sensory Play Activity

Earth day is an annual event that takes place on April 22nd. People celebrate each year to show support and to build awareness of environmental protection. Today’s fun activity is an Earth Day-themed water sensory play activity.

Earth Day was initially started in 1970 as a way to promote clean living and to create a healthy, sustainable habitat for everyone to enjoy.

What Are Some Common Ways That People Celebrate Earth Day

There are many different ways that people celebrate Earth Day. You can…

• Ride your bike more and drive cars less. Riding bikes is a great physical activity for children to enjoy.
• Consider recycling more of your waste as a way to reuse materials and prevent build-up in landfills. A neat idea for recycling could be to recycle cardboard and make a small bird feeder.
• Conserve water when possible.
• Plant a new flower or tree.
• Create birdseed ornaments with your kids.
• You could make an Earth Day Fizzy Science Experiment. Use distilled white vinegar, baking soda, and food coloring to create an Earth shape in a pan that looks like the land and water. Pour the vinegar over the baking soda and food coloring solution to create a super fun kids activity experiment.
• Create a fun Earth Day water bubble blowing activity that resembles the ocean. In this post, we show you exactly how to do this!

Materials needed for the Bubble Blowing Water Sensory Play Activity Bin

It is pretty simple to make this water sensory activity bin. Some of the common materials that you will need are…

• Colored water of your choice.
• Water.
• A container or bin that is safe and won’t break.
• A clear hose or aquarium hose to blow bubbles. You can pick this up from the store or pet store.
• A dish soap. We used Dawn soap for this activity.

How To Make The Bubble Blowing Sensory Bin

• Add water into the container or bin about halfway up.
• Next, add in a couple of drops of food coloring.
• Add a few squirts of dish soap into the water bin.
• Stir the mixture in the container well.
• Place one end of the clear hose into the water bin and have your children blow air into the sensory bin.

That is all there is to making this fun water sensory bin activity. We hope that you will enjoy this project and have plenty of fun celebrating this Earth Day!
