Piper Cleaner Bubble Wands Playing outside is always better with bubbles! Create your own bubble wands for an activity that practices fine motor skills and leads to hours of outdoor fun. What you'll need:
- Pipe cleaners
- Cookie cutters
- Beads
- Scissors (optional) Instructions:
1. Take one of your pipe cleaners and wrap it around your cookie cutter.
2. Wrap the longer end around the shorter one to close off your shape. Feel free to cut off any excess that may be left.
3. Take a second pipe cleaner and attach it to your shape by wrapping it around the section you sealed.
4. If desired, cut the wand handle to a size that feels comfortable for your kiddo before beginning to decorate.
5. Decorate your handle with beads by threading them one at a time. You can create a small knot after each bead to create space in between, leave space without the knot so the beads travel up and down the wand, or fill the entire wand with beads!
6. Seal your wand handle by wrapping the end of the pipe cleaner around your final bead. It's finally time to start blowing some bubbles! Note: Depending on the size of your cookie cutter you may only need one pipe cleaner per wand. For smaller cookie cutters, use the excess pipe cleaner, left from forming your shape, to create your handle and decorate it with beads.
