How to make a bubble snake maker
How to make a bubble snake maker?
- Bottle
- Scissors *
- Elastic band
- Flannel, face cloth or an old sock
- Bubble mixture and water
- Food colouring (optional)
Find a clean, empty plastic bottle.
Using a pair of scissors or a craft knife (and *adult supervision), help your child by cutting the bottom off the plastic bottle.
With your kids, cover the open end of your bottle with a piece of fabric that is similar to a washcloth or cotton sock. We used a flannel and cut it into a circle shape (to keep the ends from dipping into your bubble mixture).
Secure with a rubber band to keep the fabric in place. No elestic band then don't worry just wrap it in tape.
Make your own bubble mixture (the mixture isn’t safe to drink)
Homemade bubble mixture is a doddle to make, but you really need to remember the magic ingredient!
- Washing up liquid
- Water
- Glycerine (found in the baking section at the supermarket)
Mix 3 tablespoons of washing up liquid with 250ml of water (distilled water gives the best results) and add 1 tablespoon of glycerine. This mix is best left overnight to settle before using.
Place your bubble mix into a shallow bowl or plate.
Dip the fabric in the bubble solution and give the bottle a blow. Blowing slowly produces the longest snakes. We had a lot of wind and it kept blowing our snakes away!
