It is hard to balance connecting on the fast day when your kids are home and bored. We need easy, do-it-yourself activities that will keep the kids occupied long after the arts and crafts portion is over. This bubble foam project is the perfect antidote for the ninth hour when you’re too weak and hungry to do much. It has kid-friendly steps, so you can just delegate from your seat on the couch. And with the countless ways to use this foam, here’s hoping everyone will be nice and busy until the fast is over.

I just tried this this the other day after supper as a small activity and it was very successful. Another activity I did with foam; take a disp cup and cut a small hole at the base centre, then push a straw through. Cover the top with a baby wipe and secure with a rubber band around the rim. Then dip the top of the cup (wipe side) in a soapy solution, and blow into the straw – watch the magic do its thing!
