Soap bubbles made with a straw
https://www.tiktok.com/@sachimama_asobi/video/7268883132554808578A bubble bonanza! Here’s a way to make bubble wands that sparks kids’ curiosity and makes them want to try it themselves.
Prepare 8–9 straws, cut them into 1.5 cm-wide pieces, and line them up on a 50 cm strip of double-sided tape.
Once you’ve attached all the straws, place another 50 cm strip of double-sided tape on top.
Next, roll the lined-up straws into a circle.
Finally, fit the circular bundle of straws into a cross-sectioned (ring-shaped) piece cut from a plastic bottle, and attach a stick such as a chopstick as a handle—done! Using colorful straws gives it a cute, candy-like look, which is highly recommended.
Soap bubbles made with a plastic bottle

You can play without blowing! Enjoy soap bubbles using a plastic bottle.
The key is to prepare a soft plastic bottle that dents with a squeeze.
Cut a hole in the cap with scissors and insert the mouthpiece of a bubble wand into the hole—voilà, it’s ready in no time.
Dip the tip into bubble solution and squeeze the bottle to pump out bubbles.
This is a perfect idea for young children who might have trouble blowing bubbles or for kids who want to practice hand and finger movements.
Soap bubbles bouncing on the palm of my hand
Soap bubbles have a fragile image—they seem to pop the moment you touch them.
But you can actually make bubbles you can touch and play with.
First, mix water, dish soap, and liquid laundry starch to make the bubble solution.
Then put on a pair of wool yarn gloves, and you’re ready.
Use any tools you like to blow bubbles.
They look like regular bubbles, but if you’re wearing the wool gloves, you can bounce them on your hands.
The unreal sight is sure to get you excited.

Here’s an idea for stretchy soap bubbles that lets you enjoy a unique, one-of-a-kind texture.
First, prepare a straw and a wet wipe.
Wrap the wet wipe around the tip and secure it with a rubber band.
Next, make a bubble solution by mixing water and dish soap, and pour it into a container.
Then dip the tip into the container and slowly lift it up.
You should see a chain of tiny bubbles appear, connected together.
The slightly sticky, mysterious look is really fun.
If you investigate why this happens, it can turn into a learning experience too.
Soap bubbles made with a uchiwa (Japanese fan)
If you suddenly feel like playing with soap bubbles, the fan-frame bubble idea is perfect.
All you need are an old uchiwa fan and bubble solution.
First, peel off all the paper from the fan so that only the frame is visible.
Next, make your own bubble solution and dip the fan into it—that’s it.
When you wave the fan, bubbles will appear through the gaps in the frame.
It’s great because there are no complicated steps, and you can start right away.
Bubble wand
For those who want to make bubbles with a unique tool, I also recommend a bubble rod.
It’s an item where a piece of yarn is stretched between two sticks, and another piece of yarn is woven through it in a zigzag pattern.
Dip it into bubble solution and lift it up, and you can make as many bubbles as there are gaps formed between the yarns.
You can even make a slightly larger version and have two people lift it together.
It’s easy to make, so I encourage you to give it a try.
Using plenty of bubble solution makes it easier to get good results.
underwater soap bubbles
Here’s an idea for underwater bubbles that also leads to learning.
First, fill two cups with water and add a few drops of dish soap to each.
Mix well, then use a straw like a dropper to suck up the soapy water from one cup and drip it into the other.
You should see bubbles form under the water.
Try thinking about why this happens as you do it.
If the bubbles don’t form well, adjusting the amount of soap often helps.
