The Bubble Fun started this week at our house with the Bubble Refill Station and a couple homemade bubble recipes. Then, we made some super fun (and super easy) Really BIG Bubble Makers. Now, we're adding one more inexpensive and really easy activity to do with bubbles ~ the Bubble Snake Maker!
I first found this great idea last summer from my friend, Kimberly, at The Muddy Princess. My kids loved it and were asking to do it again when we broke out the bubbles earlier this week.
Look how easy they are to make!
1. Gather your supplies ~ an empty plastic bottle, a piece of terry cloth fabric ( I used an old washcloth, but a old tube sock works great too ) and a rubber band.
2. Cut the bottom off your plastic bottle and cut your fabric into a circle.
3. Assemble your Bubble Snake Maker by putting the fabric over the open bottom of your bottle and securing it with the rubber band.
4. Put some dish detergent in a bowl and add a little bit of water. Dip your Bubble Snake Maker in and you're ready to go!
5. Have fun making your Bubble Snakes!! After dipping into the soap mixture, gently blow into the mouth of your bottle. A slow, gentle stream of air will create a long chain of bubbles. ( Just don't inhale, or you might get a mouthful of bubbles ~ yuck! )

It's a fun little project that will keep the kids happy and entertained, but costs next to nothing!

This is a great idea! My kids love bubbles, and are going through a "we love snakes" phase. This will be a perfect weekend activity for them. Looks like we are cutting up some bottles in the morning. Thanks for a great idea!

I featured this on my friday favorites

so glad I stumbled upon this! I was just about to fork out over £30 ($70) for 2 for my kids from Toys R Us. No need now, and it will last just as long i'm sure. thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
Be very careful with this. I did this with a group of kids ages 4-6 and even after carefeul intructions, two of the kids ended up inhaling the bubbles and had quite a problem...very cool idea, but be careful!
What an awesome idea! I can't wait to share this with friends with younger kids. I'm so glad I stumbled on your blog today!
I love this idea!
I love this I just tried it with my niece. She's 11 yrs old and loves it lol Thanks so much for the idea!
Great bubble maker! Thanks so much for sharing it with the outdoor play party!
Oh, this looks so fun! I remember seeing this post before but I had forgotten all about it -- will definitely give this a try! Thanks for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party!
Great idea! My daughter will love this!
Love this! Will post and do with my girls.

Cool, I will try this with my daughter! Thanks!
i tried to dip and it didn't work can i pour it in?
Just tried this with the 5 year old that I nanny for. We've been trying to find new things to do because he recently had open heart surgery so he can't run around like he wants to. He absolutely LOVED this activity and it allowed him to get out of the house and have some fun. Thanks for the idea! :)
Also a good use for an old pair of pantyhose. (I didn't have any cloth that I was willing to cut up and my husband treasures his thread bare tube socks too much for me to cut them up.)
