Need to blow bubbles but lost your bubble wand? Well fear not, here's a fancy solution!
Steps
-
1Enter your usual hand washing area.
-
2Wet your hands under the sink, not too wet or the bubbles will be too thin.Advertisement
-
3Put soap on your hands, liquid soap usually works better than bars.
-
4Rub hands in a hand cleaning fashion.
-
5Put your hand in the "OK" position and close your index finger into your thumb, so you're making a fist with just your thumb and index finger.
-
6Re-open your finger into the "OK" position, there should be a thin layer of soap, looking like it does on a bubble wand, inside that space (be sure, when opening your fingers not to disconnect from the thumb or you will need to start all over).
-
7Blow lightly through the space and watch as a bubble appears (usually it will pop before is disconnects from your hand, but with some practice it will float for about two seconds, then... pop!). After 1-3 uses you may want to put more soap on your hand and rinse it a tiny bit.Advertisement
