Bubble snakes

I have seen these on many blogs and wanted to try it with my toddlers! What I found was they really enjoyed playing with the bubbles, but had a really difficult time blowing them - most sucked in instead of blowing out - LOL. So the teachers assisted in the play by blowing the bubble snakes for them to play with - what made it even more fun was the fact that it was a bit windy and the snakes flew into the air!







The contraption to make the bubbles is made by cutting the bottom off of a plastic drink bottle and placing a facecloth over the opening and securing it with an elastic. Dip the end in bubble soaps and blow in the mouth end of the bottle!

  3. I had the same suck/blow issue, but found it was greatly reduced by putting 'pop top' lids on the bottles. More fun for the kids and keeps the teachers from hyperventilating!
