We went to the Children's Discovery Museum for Antonin, our 18 month old visitor. I had more fun.

One of the best parts of the interactive museum was the bubble room. There was a big basin of bubble liquid and a several different shaped wands with which to make bubbles. There was even a round platform we could stand on and then have a hoop raised up around us so we were "inside" a bubble.

How about having your own bubble fest? Everyone loves blowing bubbles, no matter their age. Buy a couple containers of bubble stuff at the toy store and blow until you and your sweetheart are blue in the face.

For an even better time, pour your liquid dish washing soap into a flat pan and search the house for odd items to use in your bubble creation. An old pair of spectacles without lenses is a great double bubble maker. Some cookie cutters would work if you fastened temporary handles on the end or used with a pair of tongs. A spatula with holes or slotted spoons are great for creating a profusion of bubbles. Think of other household items you could use to create some bubble magic.

The real creative type might want to go to the hardware store and purchase some wire that that be easily twisted and shaped into any assortment of shapes.
