- 1 large plastic shorter tub to put the foam in
- Food coloring (optional)

Directions:
- Pour 1 cup of water into a mixing bowl.
- Optional: Add in food coloring to water and mix.
- Add in 2 tablespoons of soap to the water.
- Using electric mixer, whip the soap and water mixture for about 3 minutes, until the water is completely gone, and the soap turns into foam with peaks at the top.
- Pour the foam into your bin or tub and repeat with your next color!
- Take the bubble foam outside or into the bathtub to let your kids explore!
Pro tip: If your children have a water table, fill your water table as a fun option.
