Making Bubbles

Here’s an idea that will keep kids busy!!!! I thought with the warm temperature coming and kids out of school, now would be the time to bust out this idea! Making some Bubbles

To make your own homemade bubble blower start out you need a water bottle…empty.

I gave my kids a water bottle and they drank it fast. Okay they didn’t…I caught them pouring it on the plants, but it was a good thought! Is it just my kids who would rather have their teeth pulled than drink a glass of water!?!bubble-6

Back to making snake bubbles…Cut off the bottom of the water bottle.bubble-5

Use a piece of fabric and put an elastic around it to hold it on. An old rag or an old sock does the trick. Hey, we are recycling 2 things, water bottles and socks. Here’s to a green tutorial!bubble-4

Put some dish soap in a shallow bowl. I added a little water to make it go further.bubble-2

Dip it in.bubble-1

Start making bubbles by blowing.bubble-3

Tip: Don’t let them blow too hard or the rag will pop off. A light steady gust of air will produce bubbles to make your little ones squeal. I think I heard my husband squeal too, but he’d never admit that:)

Have a contest for the longest snake, make a hat with the trail of bubbles, or try to pop them as they float away.

Making bubbles with kids is super fun and thrifty!

  1. Oh-My! I tried this with my wee 18.5 month old and he giggled and giggled and giggled! So simple and great for the warm weather. Thanks!

  2. Ok I tried it and it only emitted a little cloud of bubbles. Took a water bottle cut off the bottom attached a sock with a rubber band, dipped in in bubble soap and blew. I used Wal Mart bubble soap. Is dish soap, what brand? better????
