Craft of the Week: Bubbles
Bubble Wands:
You can make bubble wands out of pipe cleaners, coat hangers, string with straws, or use random kitchen utensils. This would be a great time to experiment and see which wand blows the biggest bubbles and/or the smallest.
To make a wand out of pipe cleaners, just twist and shape. Your wand could even be decorated with beads. You could use a coat hanger instead of pipe cleaner.
To make a wand with string and a straw, cut a length of string. Cut your straw so you have 2 pieces that are about 2 inches long. Thread string through the straw pieces and tie the two ends together. Now dip the string wand into the bubble solution, pick the string wand up by the straw pieces, and blow.
You could even use your hand. Shape your hand so it makes a circle. Dip one end into bubble solution and blow from the other side.
Bubble Solution:
Measure 6 cups of water into one container, then pour 1 cup of dish soap into the water and slowly stir it until the soap is mixed in. Try not to let foam or bubbles form while you stir. Measure 1 tablespoon of glycerin or 1/4 cup of corn syrup and add it to the container. Stir the solution until it is mixed together.
