![]() Create a rain drop shaped loop with about three inches of the braided pipe cleaners and secure the base of the rain drop by twisting the pipe cleaner to the stem of the diy bubble wand. Add beads spelling out the word rain, then continue braiding the rest of the pipe cleaners together until you reach the ends. Braid the pipe cleaners together for a length of about 3″. Twist the ends of three pipe cleaners together. Loop the remaining lengths of the pipe cleaners into two separate loops and twist the ends to the wand stem to secure. Twist the pipe cleaners together above the beads to secure them in place. Add blue and green beads by threading them on both pipe cleaners at once and pushing them down towards the bottom where you twisted the ends together, creating the bubble wand stem. Pick up two chenille pipe cleaners and twist the bottoms together. But how about something even more fun? Outdoor bubble play with DIY bubble wands! Get your kids bundled up in their rain-coats and rubber boots, and head outside for some rainy day play! Supplies for DIY Bubble Wandsģ Cups Water How to Make Rainy Day Bubble Wands Try different sizes of bubble wands to create smaller and larger bubbles.DIY bubble wands are an easy way to keep kids busy on a rainy Spring day. Make our easy bouncing bubbles recipe, no glycerin or corn syrup required! It’s such a a cool science experiment, and a fun summer activity that’s great for sensory play. Simply mix 1/3 cup of bubble solution with 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Yes, we had good luck making bouncing bubbles with dollar store bubble mixture. It’s the perfect use for a lone sock!Ĭan you use store bought bubble solution to make bouncing bubbles? The soft texture of the cotton winter gloves seems to gives extra cushion to protect the surface tension of the bubble. If you don’t have winter gloves handy, put a clean sock on your hand. We also tried to bounce the bubbles on nitrile gloves, TPE gloves, and rubber gloves, but none of them worked! The only gloves that worked for us are soft winter gloves. What kind of gloves do you need to make bouncing bubbles? You can also use corn syrup or glycerin, instead of sugar, to make a strong DIY bubble solution. This makes the bubble stronger, and allows it to last longer. The sugar forms a bond with the water molecules, reducing the speed at which the water evaporates. This allows you to hold and bounce the bubble, but why?Ī bubble bursts when the water between the soap molecules evaporates. When you add sugar to the soap and water mixture, it creates a stronger, thicker bubble. This allows the water to stretch around the bubble. When you add soap to the water, the surface tension (the force between the water molecules at the water’s surface) decreases. Water bubbles pop very easily on their own because water is not very stretchy, and it wants to return to its original form. A bubble is formed from two layers of soap surrounding a thin layer of water, with air in the center. ![]() ![]() To understand how bouncing bubbles work you need to know a little bit about how bubbles are formed. What is the science behind the bubble experiment? The cold bubble solution should give you better bouncing bubbles, because the water will evaporate more slowly. Try comparing a bowl left at room temperature versus a bowl stored in the fridge. If you have the time, leave the bubble solution to sit overnight for extra strong bubbles.This can provide better results, because there are no extra minerals in it to stop the bubbles from forming. If you’re having trouble getting big bubbles, try using distilled water.You can also cut the rounded end off a disposable pipette, dip the cut end in the solution, and blow through the small end to make bubbles. Try making your own bubble wand from wire or a pipe cleaner. ![]()
