This week, we are making Sock Bubbles. This craft is a lot of fun and very easy to do!

What you'll need:
  • Plastic bottles
  • Old socks
  • Duck tape
  • Scissors 
  • Bubble solution (either homemade or store bought)
  • Pan or bowl for bubble solution
Simply cut the end of the sock off making sure you have 3 or 4 inches to spare. Cut end of plastic bottle off. Slide the toe of the sock over the end of the bottle and secure it to the bottle with the tape. Stick you sock end down into bubble solution and then blow!!

For extra fun, add food coloring to the sock before dipping into bubbles!
