An exciting outdoor bubble-making toy that turns gentle blowing breath into towering, rainbow-colored foamy bubble snakes.

  • Cut off the bottom 2 to 3 inches of a standard 500ml plastic water bottle with scissors.

  • Take a clean, mismatched cotton sock or a piece of terrycloth washcloth and stretch it tightly over the wide cut end of the bottle.

  • Secure the fabric firmly around the bottle body using a heavy-duty rubber band or colorful duct tape.

  • In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup of warm water with 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap and 1 teaspoon of glycerin or sugar.

  • Dip the fabric-covered end into the bubble solution until saturated.

  • Drop 2–3 drops of different food colors (blue, red, yellow) directly onto the wet fabric.

  • Have the child blow gently through the normal bottle mouthpiece to generate long, multi-colored foam snakes.
