Day 14 CHALLENGE

14/1/2021

Nearly half way through the month and 13 out of 14 challenges completed. Today's challenge was set by a six year old girl.
​
I had to blow bubbles and experiment with different ways of doing this. I also had to listen to the sounds they made when blown.

I enjoyed this activity as it took me back to my childhood. I loved blowing bubbles, watching them escape and form through a tiny hoop. I liked trying to catch them as they floated to the ground. A fun challenge. 

First, I filled the sink with washing up bubbles and blew them with a straw and then  just with the breath from my mouth. I did try a few other items but wasn't successful. 

I then went for my daily walk and bought some ready prepared bubble mixture and had a blast!

I wrote down a list of things that I heard when I blew my bubbles.
A rush of air
A rollercoaster rumble
A wave crashing
A tin-pan drum humming.
A delicate, light whoosh
A  soft purring
A gentle breath exhaled
A bird song
A whistling of wind
A whirr, a womp and a whop!

I also studied the bubbles that I had created and wrote down what I could see.
A sea of foam
A powder white snow
A curled crest of a wave
A self-contained world
A globe of ethereal light
A translucent orb
A prism of delight
A floating rainbow
A feather light transport system
An intense carpet of bubbliness!
