Have fun at home with these ideas to create your very own bubble wands. Meet TPT staffer KaMia (pictured below), who brought us these fun activities and will walk you through each activity during our next Virtual Second Saturday on August 8,2020.
Gather the materials listed below to watch and participate with your kiddos during the event!
We’ll “see” you there!
Bubble solution
In a medium size bowl pour 2 cups of water
Pour ½ cup liquid dish soap in bowl of water
Pour ¼ cup Vegetable Glycerin (if you don’t have Glycerin, you can also use corn syrup)
Wand 1
Use a cookie cutter of your choice (if you don’t have a cookie cutter, you can use the metal rim of a mason jar)
Dip it into your bubble solution and blow!
Wand 2
Take 5 or more straws (but the more straws the more bubbles). You can use any kind of straws you like, plastic, paper or metal.
With rubber bands tie each end together
Now do the same to the other end
Dip it into your bubble solution and blow!
Wand 3
Take an empty plastic water bottle (take the cap off, you won’t need it).
Cut a slit in the water bottle then cut all around.
Take the top half aside and set it aside (recycle the bottom half, you won’t need it).
Take a clean sock and cut it in half.
With the bottom half of the sock pull it over the larger whole of the water bottle.
Take a rubber band and tie it around the mouth opening of the water bottle then roll the extra sock fabric down
Dip it into your bubble solution and blow!
Show us your bubbles!
We want to see your bubble photos! Please share your photos and we may feature you on TPT or our next Virtual Second Saturday event!
