Create wacky foam snakes by blowing air through this simple, homemade bubble-making device.

Materials

• Scissors
• Plastic water bottle
• Used towel

• Rubber band
• Shallow bowl
• Dish soap

Instructions

1. Cut the bottom off a plastic water bottle.

2. Cover the open end with a circular piece of towel that's a few inches wider than the bottle. Secure the towel with a rubber band.

3. Dampen the towel with water, then dip it into a shallow bowl of dish soap. Blow gently through the mouth of the bottle to create snakes of tiny bubbles.
   
   Parents: supervise younger children to make sure they do not suck in any soap bubbles.
