I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought the kids would have fun doing it.....it's called Rainbow Bubble Snakes. You cut the end off of a plastic bottle. Then put any old sock over the end and secure it with something so it's tight across the open end of the bottle. We used a rubberband and some painter's tape. Then fill up a dish with dish detergent and water. We added the drops of food coloring to the water first....then decided later it is better to put it right on the end of the sock itself. That way you see more color streaks. As it was we still didn't the full rainbow effect like the one on pinterest did. So the idea is to dip the end of the bottle in the water solution and then blow on the end of the bottle.....big bubble snakes will form...that part is true!! The boys truly did enjoy that aspect of the whole project.
Here are the about 30 seconds of fun that Asher got out of it. He blew on it maybe 2 or 3 times and then inhaled very deeply!! AGh, lots of choking and gagging, his poor little mouth full of soap!! I ran inside to grab water....came back, he was puking all over the deck!! Had him sip some water and then decided that would make more bubbles in his tummy and switched to milk. I don't know if there is actually any logic in that but, it made Asher feel better because the taste in his mouth was making him sick too! Liam, meanwhile, was happily blowing bubble snakes all over the yard.
Cullen came outside then and had to try too. He did pretty good for awhile but also ended up inhaling the bubbles and getting sick, although not to the same degree as Asher, thankfully. I guess this project was more of a big boy project but, we had some fun learning with it anyway. I guess they both know now that soap tastes bad so maybe I can now tell them that I will wash their mouth out with soap! haha!
Laim did really well with it and enjoyed having me take pictures of his long snakes! Although, I was kinda annoyed and wanted to put it all away at this point! haha!
