Instructions for Constructing Bubble Shooter Wand:
- Take a bunch of straws and attach them together by wrapping them with a rubber band. If you don’t have rubber bands within easy reach, don’t worry. Just use some masking tape or sticky tape to join the straws together.

Blowing Bubbles with DIY Bubble Shooter Wand
This play is really satisfying for children as they make lots of bubbles with each breath.
The action needed for creating bubbles with the bubble shooter is always exhaling and never inhaling. This will keep bubble solution out of kids’ mouths. <–But just in case, always use a non-toxic bubble solution that is taste-safe.
It is amazing how quickly they learn the proper coordination to get just the right amount of bubble solution into the shooter wand.
What fun!

Hello there , thank you for your time you utilized to write this article! Its incredible to go through anything about tranny
I tried this yesterday with my kids and it didn’t work very well. I used about 8 straws and a tall cup of bubble solution. After we dipped and blew, it just sort of sprayed out of the bottom of the straws without making bubbles. What are you tricks to making it work?
I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I was looking for. You have ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
