Materials Needed

How to Make and Play
- Use your scissors to cut about 2-3 inches off the bottom of your water bottle.
- Fit a Sock onto the cut end of your water bottle and secure with an elastic band. If the sock is a long one you can cut the top of the sock down to size so there isnt much excess, but leave the foot of the sock
- Pour some dish washing liquid into a shallow bowl.
- Dip the sock covered end of the bottle into the dish washing liquid until saturated.
- Place your mouth on the mouth of your water bottle and blow into the bottle and watch the bubbles flow out through the end of the sock.
