December 07, 2018
Edit
We absolutely dearest bubbles. We alive inward sunny California thence nosotros are exterior amongst bubbles all twelvemonth long. Last summertime I nosotros made some patriotic bubble wands using piping cleaners inspired past times these bubble wands by the The Artful Parent.
Since too then nosotros convey tried finding ways to role fifty-fifty simpler materials nosotros convey to a greater extent than or less the draw of piece of employment solid to brand bubble wands.
Today I'm going to demonstrate you lot how nosotros used arts and crafts sticks, piping cleaners, too tape... addition a few other things, to brand some really awesome bubble wands.
To larn started amongst this piddling craftivity (craft + activity) get-go you lot necessitate to get together all of your materials to brand bubbles wands.
Bubble wand materials nosotros used (feel costless to add together more):
- craft sticks (you could role sparse or fatty ones, but fatty ones are easier for toddlers to grip)
- colorful piping cleaners
- colorful record (duct tape, washi tape, electrical tape, etc)
- scissors
- markers
How to brand our super cool bubble wands:
Start past times decorating your arts and crafts sticks amongst markers.
Then role your piping cleaners to brand whatever kind of wand you lot want. Some of my kids wanted pump shaped wands (which involved me helping a bit) too some of my kids simply wanted oval or circular ones. My get-go grader wanted his wand to convey 3 or iv circles!
We twisted 2 piping cleaners together to brand a thicker caput too and then nosotros attached them to 2 other twisted piping cleaners thence that the heads of the bubble wants were pretty big!
Next nosotros wrapped the ends to a greater extent than or less the arts and crafts stick too used the record to secure them inward place. With some of the wands nosotros simply wrapped record to a greater extent than or less the overstep too amongst some nosotros wrapped record downwards the entire arts and crafts stick to create a handgrip completely covered inward tape.
Each pocket-sized had a dissimilar conception for how they wanted theirs to work.
After that nosotros mixed upward our bubble recipe!!
We dearest the bouncing bubble recipe from H5N1 Little Pinch of Perfect too the super tardily dish lather recipe from Housing a Forest.
We doubled H5N1 Little Pinch of Perfect's recipe for our get-go endeavor thence that at that spot were lots of bubbles for all 3 kids to make!
Next nosotros took our bubble solution too wands outside!!
The recipe from H5N1 Little Pinch of Perfect calls for sugar, which makes the bubbles a piddling pasty but they concur together actually well. Plan on getting a piddling messy. We kept wipes nearby.
The kids took turns soaking their bubble wands into the bubble recipe too blowing lots of bubbles!
Since it was thence windy exterior sometimes all they had to exercise was concur out their wands too the current of air blew the bubbles for them!
The kids blew bubble afterwards bubble until every ounce of our bubble juice was gone.
What a fun means to pass the afternoon!
If you lot haven't tried out making piping cleaner bubble wands even thence I highly recommend doing it! The piping cleaners start to larn heavy afterwards a flake (especially if you lot brand thicker ones similar nosotros did), but since the arts and crafts sticks are thence large they rest inward identify pretty well.
You may fifty-fifty desire to triple or quadruple the bubble recipe thence that you lot tin sack play for fifty-fifty longer!!
