The Foamerator

One of the things my kids love to do in summer is blow bubbles. Such a simple thing, but it provides hours of entertainment. This project is blowing bubbles with a twist. We first made these foamerators last summer and they quickly became a big hit.

You will need:
an empty soda or water bottle
a washcloth
a rubber band

1. Cut the bottom off of the bottle.


2. Fold the washcloth in half and cover the bottom of the bottle with it. Secure with the rubber band.


3. Dip the bottle in some bubble solution or dish soap and blow! The foamerator creates long foam snakes. Lots of fun!
