O and I recently made a bubble blower out of straws and tape. We gathered a bunch of straws together and wrapped a piece of masking tape around them to hold them together. That's it! We dipped it in the bubble solution, blew, and made hundreds of tiny bubbles :) We've had LOTs of fun with this bubble blower! The idea for this activity came from Family Fun magazine.
WOWSA! Are you kidding! that is Wonderful. My kids are always Losing their wands to the bubbles, and I just cant keep up with those little things. HOW WONDERFUL! Thanks.. I will certainly Link to you if and when we use this idea. You can be a follower of our blog so you can see your idea posted!
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea... fyi, if you punch a few holes in the straws with a pin, you can blow out but not suck in. We used straws to blow paint around the other day and i had to do that or my middle would have sucked up all the paint! (non-toxic, yes but still...YUCK!)

That's great! I am going to try it out as soon as my two year old wakes from his nap.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We love bubbles and are always looking for new ways to use them!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I run a Toddler At Collective and wanted to do some paining using bubble blowing, but know that some of the little ones are not that skilled at it yet. this will be great, and with the inclusion of the holes in the straws safe too. Fabulous. thanks.
ReplyDeleteReally fun idea. I love finding new uses for everyday items. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThat looks great! We'll try it, for sure. We've had lots of fun with this one: cut the bottom off of a small plastic water bottle, cover the new opening with a washcloth attached to the bottle with a rubber band. Dip washcloth end in bubble solution and blow through the mouth of the bottle. It makes long, foamy bubble snakes!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're still blogging!
Maiz- We tried that last summer, and poor O ended up with a mouthful of soapy foam. She might be old enough now to not suck in though, so we should give it another try :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny - I just posted about ours yesterday on my blog too. :) We did the vinyl ones too - and we are loving them!! :)
ReplyDeleteLinked to this in my weekly roundup here - I especially love the pin prick comment to keep from ingesting soap! :>)
