I ran across instructions for making this thing online the other day. Pretty simple really.
- Take a bottle and cut a hole in the bottom
- Attach a washcloth (I used a zip-tie, but a rubber band would work)
- Wet the washcloth
- Dip it in bubble solution or soap (adding a little water to Johnson’s baby soap works great and doesn’t sting the eyes)
- Blow into the bottle
- Play with tons and tons of bubbles (create hats, beards, castles etc)
The best part is that Amber thinks this is about the greatest thing ever. She can’t look at a container without thinking about how great a bubble snake machine it would make. It tickles me just to think about how excited she gets by it. We are going to try shapes next I think. The rectangular bottle we use now makes rectangular snakes, so why not stars or hearts?

I love the idea!
