Welcome to Wild Science’s Sensory Bubbles Workshop. This is a playful and calming session made for children and adults with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Bubbles bring wonder. They float, pop, and shine in the light. For SEN participants, bubbles create a safe space full of joy, colour, and movement. Every pop leads to laughter. Every bubble offers a chance to explore the world through touch and sight.
Our SEN Bubbles workshops across the UK are fun, hands-on, and full of learning. They support both sensory play and science discovery. Best of all, we bring the whole experience to you, wherever you are in the United Kingdom.

Why Bubbles Are Perfect for SEN
Bubbles are not just toys — tools for sensory exploration. They help with learning and emotional regulation. Their colours, movement and soft feel make them perfect for SEN sessions.
Here’s why bubbles work:
- Visual stimulation: Bright colours and rainbow light reflections.
- Tactile fun: Soft pops, soapy textures and smooth wands.
- Fine motor skills: Blowing bubbles improves fine motor skills.
- Social interaction: Bubbles bring people together in shared joy and happiness.
We’ve seen it again and again – bubbles calm, engage, and make children smile.
Meet the Nutty Professor
Our fun and friendly Nutty Professor leads every workshop. They wear a colourful wizard hat and lead the session with energy and joy. They guide the group gently, providing simple, step-by-step instructions for each activity.
Children love watching the professor make giant bubbles float through the air. There’s no pressure to join in – just offer support, laugh together laughter and have fun.
We tailor every session to the group. That means we adjust the pace, space and instructions for the children’s needs
Bubble-Filled Activities for Everyone
The workshop includes four fun activities. Each one is safe, sensory, and exciting.
1. Bubble Shapes and Wands
Children use bubble wands to blow bubbles in different shapes—circles, stars, and more. They learn about shape and form through movement and play.
2. Bubble Art
We add colour to the bubble mix. Then, kids blow coloured bubbles onto paper. Each pop leaves a bright print. It’s creative, fun, and calming. This helps build fine motor control while also making beautiful art.
3. Bubble Snake
With cloth tubes and soap mix, children blow long bubble “snakes.” These soft, wiggly streams of bubbles are fun to watch and play with. It’s always a big hit and great for group laughter.
4. DIY Bubble Mix
Each participant makes their own bubble mix. They try different soap and water ratios to see what works best. and learn about science through play. And they get to take their mix home!

How Bubbles Workshop Helps Children Learn
Every activity has a purpose. While the kids play, they are learning. They build skills, boost creativity, and explore the science of bubbles.
Here’s what they gain:
- Sensory Exploration
Bubbles engage the senses of sight, touch, and sometimes even sound and smell. This sensory-rich experience is calming and helps children become more aware of their surroundings. - Cause and Effect Understanding
Children discover how actions lead to outcomes — blow gently, a bubble forms; poke it, and it pops. This builds basic scientific reasoning and curiosity. - Social Skills and Turn-Taking
Working in groups encourages sharing, waiting, and cooperation. It also helps children build confidence as they interact with others. - Vocabulary Development
Describing the bubbles (big, shiny, floating, fast) helps children learn new words and concepts through play. - Emotional Regulation
Watching bubbles float or pop can be calming. This helps children manage emotions and reduce anxiety, especially in SEN environments.
We discuss how bubbles form, what causes them to pop, and why they float. These are real science lessons presented in a way that every child can understand.
Safety First in Every Workshop
All our bubble solutions are non-toxic and hypoallergenic. They are safe for all children, including those with allergies or sensitive skin. We clean up every mess and supervise all play.
Our staff are Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)-checked and trained to support SEN children. We work with your team to make sure every child is included and supported. Sessions are paced gently to avoid overload.

Real Results, Real Smiles
We’ve run these workshops in many schools and centres. And the feedback is always the same: joy, learning, and calm.
One carer told us, “The kids stayed engaged longer than usual. The smiles didn’t stop.”
Another said, “Children who often struggle with group activities took part with ease.”
Bubbles help build trust and connection. They let children enjoy science in a way that feels like play.
More Fun with Science
Did you know that bubbles can be used to teach real-world science?
- Surface tension: What holds a bubble together?
- Air pressure: Why bubbles rise and float.
- Light refraction: How rainbows appear in bubbles.
- States of matter: Liquid soap becomes a floating gas shell.
Want more drama? Combine your session with dry ice. This creates foggy bubble snakes that amaze every group.
