Around my house, a bottle of bubbles means it’s going to be a great day spent outside. My daughter NEVER gets tired of blowing bubbles, even it she ends up pouring half the bottle over her shoes or putting her lips so close to the wand that she tastes just as much as she blows. It’s a carefree, therapeutic activity, blowing bubbles. I love how excited she gets over something as simple, yet beautiful as a blowing soap. But lately I’ve been thinking there’s got to be more to bubbles than my cheapy wand that comes included in our bottle, and because I want this summer to be the best my daughter’s seen yet, I’ve searched for some awesome bubble makers. So take a look at our list below and get your bubble on!

Maybe big bubbles aren’t your thing, and you want to make a run at teeny tiny bubbles. Well this mini bubble maker is just for you.

3. Bubble Snakes
I just love how making bubbles is so easy, and you can create unique bubble makers with things found around the house. Â Bubble snakes can easily be made with a water bottle, washcloth, rubber band and soap! Cut off the very bottom of a water bottle, then cover with a washcloth and secure with a rubber band. Then just dip into some bubble solution and blow! You will see an amazing bubble snake emerge!

5. Hula Hoop Bubble Maker
This is probably one of the largest bubbles you can make, and you just need a kiddie pool and hula hoop! Add bubble solution to the baby pool and let it sit overnight. Then lay the hula hoop in the pool and have someone stand inside the hoop. Using 2 people, lift the hula hoop over the persons head and witness a GIANT bubble! Once that activity’s lost it’s lustre, you can still use the hoop to make some major bubbles all on its own!

6. Wooden Dowel Bubble Maker
This is probably the most complicated bubble maker we’ve found so far, because you have to have some unique supplies. You’ll need two wooden dowels, eye hooks, a metal washer and rope. You’ll be screwing the eye hooks into the tops of your dowels and then attaching two different lengths of rope. The washer will go on the long piece of rope to provide you with some weight. You will seriously be amazed and how big these bubbles will be!

7. Simple Large Bubble Wand
Sometimes you just want a handheld wand that’s bigger than the cheap, plastic version that comes with your bubbles. It turns out, they are super easy to make! All you need is a wire hanger, a large stick (just check the backyard!) and some tape. Fashion the wire hanger into whatever shape you want, and then use the tape to secure it to the stick. That’s it! You can decorate the stick if you’d like to make it even more fancy.

8. Bubble “Machine”
If you want to keep your bubbles a little more contained (think:rainy day activity!) then check out this bubble machine. All you need is a small plastic container with a lid (like an old Cool Whip tub), a straw, hole puncher and bubble solution. You’ll use your hole puncher to punch a hole in the lid and one side of the bottom container. Just insert a straw into the container, add bubble solution and you’re all set!
