Bubble Blowers – Creative, Economical and Fun!

When you make your own bubbles it can be a fun activity for you and your children.  So what about some creative blowers besides the ones that come with commercial bubbles.  They work, but there are so many other ways you can send those bubbles into the air.  Here are some cost effective suggestions:

Soft Drink Holder

Dip a plastic six-pack drink holder into the bubble solution and twirl it around.

Straws 

Tape four to six straws together.  Dip one end and blow through the other end.

Pipe Cleaners

To create a bubble wand take one end of a pipe cleaner and bend it to form a circle approximately the size of a quarter or any size you desire.  Twist it together tightly so it stays locked in place.  This is a fun activity where you children can make their own wands.  Let them be creative, check to ensure they are together tightly and let the fun begin!!

Paper Cup

Cut a hole in the bottom of a paper cup.  Dip the larger end into the bubble solution and blow through the hole.

Wire

Bend a piece of wire into a loop.  (Be sure to cover any sharp edge with masking tape) Let your children dip the loop into the bubble solution and blow.

 

Activities in ACTION!

I went out to a local childcare facility and helped the children make Father’s Day cards. They painted a message inside with marshmallows and edible paint. Not only were they happy about being able to eat the paint, but being able to give this to their father figure when they were done was very exciting!!

See previous blogs for directions. 

       

     

SOMETHING FOR THE WORKING DAD!

Here’s a simple, affordable, and original card for that special man in your life! It doesn’t take much, and what better gift than a gift made by the hands of children.

Add a special touch and decorate the tie. Try stripes, dots, finger prints, or anything to make it even more special and original. Allow the kids to use their imagination and express their creativity.
