How To Make Bubble Snakes

  1. Dip the bottom of the bubble snake blower (i. e. the cloth portion) into the shallow mixture of dish soap.
  2. Then hold the bottle in front of your face and blow into the bottle opening.
  3. A lot of bubbles will start forming on the outer side of the blower, leaving a long 'bubble snake'.
  4. Keep blowing, the longer the snake, the more fun!

How To Make Rainbow Bubble Snakes

You can make bubble snakes in all the colors of the rainbow - it's easy! Just add a few drops of food coloring into the dish detergent before you start the activity. It can get so colorful, and kids love that!

What Else To Use To Blow Bubble Snakes

If you have no cloth or sock at hand, you can even use other materials to cover the bottom of your plastic bottle. Once we used a dense mesh, the bubbles were less dense but the snake turned out great too! This is the photo of a mesh cover for the bubble snakes:
