Bubble-Mania!!
Ingredients:
One older child
Bubbles
A dog (optional)
Directions:
Direct the older child to go outside and blow bubbles. The little kids will run, screaming with glee, to catch the spheres of soap. The dog will add extra chaos to the game as she races to capture the bubbles before the kids.
Continue for 5 minutes or until:
(a) the older kid gets tired and begs you to take over the task or
(b) a younger kid somehow garners control over the bubbles and dumps the container of fun out all over the grass.
Note to self: Buy more bubbles!

I saw these neat hand-held bubble blowers at the beach yesterday. I think they'd be perfect for entertaining the kids!
At least when the bubbles get dumped "accidentally, on purpose" they're cheap to replace.
I just need to remember to add "bubbles" to my grocery list...

I saw a brilliant post on pinterest regarding bubbles. They used zip-ties and zipped the bubble container to a post. (tree, patio post, etc.) Then supply all interested parties with their own bubble wand and let the fun begin. No more spillage or tears after the spillage!
