Glitter Germs!

You will need some glitter for this little experiment!

It is very important to wash our hands and keep them clean and free of germs!

Try this activity out and lets see if you can keep your hands clean!

1. Pour some glitter into your child’s hands
2. Rub hands together so that the glitter is spread evenly
3. Try and get the glitter off with a plain paper towel or piece of tissue
4. Then try and get the glitter off your hands with cold water

Which solution gets rid of the glitter best? What do you think?

Resources:

• Bowl or tray
• Washing up liquid
• Water
• Paint
• Drink straw

Follow these steps:

1. Put a squirt of paint into the bowl/tray. Add a few drops of washing up liquid.
2. Add some water to make it runny consistency to blow bubbles.
3. Using the drinking straw, blow into the paint mixture to create the lot of bubbles so they rise above the bowl
4. Place the paper lightly on top of the bubbles until they stop popping
5. Carefully lift the paper so not to smudge the paint

Before you throw packaging and household items into the recycling have a think about if they could be used for play. It may get messy but loose parts are a great way to keep children busy and being creative around the home. You could use cardboard boxes, cotton wool, yogurt pots, old greeting cards, wall paper, ribbon, bottle tops, wrapping paper. You could place them in a cardboard box and encourage your child to play with them. Loose parts provide many experiences for children to be creative, curious and imaginative
