What's a little Poison Control when you're having fun?

We tried a project we saw in a magazine. We took plastic bottles, cut off the ends, attached washcloths, dipped them in water and then dish soap and blew. They made foam snakes! It was so cool!





During the course of our fun however, Willa drank the dish soap from her bottle and proceeded to vomit tons and tons of bubbles (along with her breakfast)! Poor kid. Poison Control said not to worry. Helped that it was "natural" dish soap. We just had her drink a bunch of water and she was fine.


Did you notice in this picture above that Willa appears to have switched to inhaling instead of exhaling? No, I didn't either until it was too late.



But that didn't stop the fun. They moved on to other things later with their friend Lily. It's always a good time when the children become the canvas!


They got to play outside in a big tub of water after this.

Thank God for Poison Control! That project looks super fun, though! (Maybe not fun enough to be worth puking, but still...). Glad to know the girls are still having tons of summer fun!

Glad to hear that Willa was just fine!!! That project looks like fun ( I also saw it in the magazine but haven't gotten around to trying it). I just love the painting pictures!!!

What fun! Except for the Poison Control part (Oh Willa!). Good thing you used natural soap:) I love this idea and am totally using it! The kids will LOVE it. Thanks again creative Mommy!
