How to set up your Bubble Wand Crafts – Instructions:
The set up is simple. Lay out a pile of pipe cleaners onto a table along with plenty of colorful beads and some cookie cutter shapes. Having a pair of scissors handy on the table is also a great idea!
You might want to make up a few bubble wands in advance and lay them out on the table so kids can see how to make them, or you can give them a quick demonstration before getting started.
After kids have finished making their bubble wands, pour some bubble solution into a shallow bowl. Now watch as kids faces light up with smiles from the magic of blowing bubbles. There’s not a more perfect summer activity for kids than making bubble wands and blowing lots and lots of bubbles!
This type of activity is also perfect for summer play dates. In fact, after my daughter and I sat at our table together and made some bubble wands a few days ago she asked if we could keep it set up so she could invite a friend over to make them with her in a few days. It’s a great way to get kids to turn off the TV and electronics and enjoy some creative play.
