Have you ever wondered how to make larger bubbles? Well here is an inexpensive and easy way to make a bubble wand and use it.

Steps

  1. Get two straws and a long piece of string.
  2. Thread the string through one straw and then the other. Now you have two straws on a long piece of string.
  3. Tie two ends of string and together in a loop. Now you have a giant loop with two straws on it.
  4. Hold one straw in each hand and stretch them apart until the string forms a rectangle. Use the straws as handles and dip the bubble wand into the bubble solution.
  5. Pull the wand out quickly and evenly, but not too fast. Get in position.
  6. Hold the wand with the rectangle vertically, one hand over the other. Quickly pull the moving part to around the middle of the wand, and give it a slow swing.
  7. Close the bubble at the end by moving the part back to its place before it pops.
  8. Look at that bubble!

Tips

  • Don't try it on a windy day. It won't work.
  • Have a large tray or dish pan to hold the bubble liquid.
  • It might not work the first time you try it, so keep trying.
  • Wave it gently up and down to complete the bubble. If you do it too harshly, the bubble will pop.
  • It helps if you have really good bubble liquid to make the bubbles with.
  • You need to get all the speeds just right, or the soap will fall off, or the bubble will pop.
