Make Your Own Giant Bubble Wands

Option 1: Straw & String Wand

• Cut two straws and a piece of string (about 1 metre long).

• Thread the string through both straws and tie a knot.

• Hold one straw in each hand — dip the whole loop into the solution, lift and open arms wide to create a bubble!

Option 2: Pipe Cleaner or Wire Loop

• Shape into large loops and dip.

Option 3: Hula Hoop & Pool

• Pour bubble mix into a paddling pool or large tray.

• Have a child stand inside, then lift a hula hoop up slowly to enclose them in a bubble!

How to Use the Station

1. Dip your wand fully into the solution.

2. Slowly pull it up — and either walk backwards or gently blow to form the bubble.

3. Try different shapes, sizes, and speeds!

Top Tips

• Let the mix sit for 30 minutes if possible — it works better when rested.

• Try making bubbles in shady or less windy spots for longer-lasting results.

• Add a challenge: who can make the longest bubble? Or catch a bubble on their hand?
