Directions:
1. Fill the bottom of a large bin with water. It doesn’t take much. We used about a 1/2 gallon for our tub and that was about the equivalent of an inch deep.
2. Add in 3-6tbsp. of soap and whisk. If you have a foaming soap dispenser you could also do it that way. I prefer to let my kids whisk it up, it is great for coordination and muscle building.
3. While whisking, add in lime kool-aide and green tempera powder until you reach a color and scent that fits your needs. We used two packets of powdered juice and 3 tbsp. of tempera powder.
4. Add in ABC beads and play!
My kids had a blast diving to the bottom of the soapy bin in search of the letters that sunk to the bottom – to them, it was sunken treasures!
It is a good idea to also provide some small plastic bowls when playing this with kids so that they can sort and identify the letters that they found!
