DIY Homemade Bubble Machine - DIY Toy for Kids

A bottle of bubbles means it’s going to be a great day to spend in the open air. It’s a carefree, therapeutic activity, blowing bubbles. What kid doesn't love bubbles?   The old-fashioned bubble is still loads of fun What’s more fun than bubbles? Exactly! More bubbles.

Recently, I’ve been thinking there’s got to make a bubble machine because I want this summer to be more special.  To make a bubble machine there are two things needed: a ring filled with some bubble making liquid and air that blows bubbles from that. In most smaller bubble machines this is done by a blower fan at the back of the machine  (I decide an electronic fan do this job in my homemade bubble machine)  and a rotating ‘flower’ of bubble-making rings in the front (A plastic cup and some bottle cap lid will do this job ).  And, finally, I came up with this bubble machine powered with a small electronic fan.

The tools and materials that I used for my bubble machine are simple. Yours will differ greatly depending on what you have available. This is a great project to do with scraps, and odds and ends all hacked together. It doesn't have to look amazing, it just has to work. When it starts making bubbles, kids will probably be creaming Wow.
