Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 empty plastic water bottle 500 mL
  • 1 old sock clean and stretchy
  • Scissors
  • Dish soap any brand
  • Water
  • Small bowl or container for bubble solution
  • Optional: food coloring or liquid watercolor for rainbow snakes
  • Optional: rubber band for extra sock security

Method
 

  1. Cut the bottom off the plastic bottle using scissors. Stretch the sock over the cut end, pulling it tight. Secure with a rubber band if needed.
  2. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup water and 2–3 tbsp dish soap gently to avoid too many bubbles.
  3. For rainbow snakes, drop food coloring onto the sock bottom.
  4. Dip the sock-covered end into the bubble solution and blow gently through the bottle opening to create a long, stretchy bubble snake.

Notes

Work on a covered surface for easy cleanup and use a stretchy sock for smoother bubbles. Supervise young children, especially around scissors.
