Super Foam-erator for Kids

Foammaker
Betz White has a tutorial on how to make a Super Foam-erator from a recycled plastic water bottle.

Betz writes:

In my quest for summer activities to entertain the boys I started reminiscing about a foam making toy I had as a kid. It was sort of shaped like a big plastic lolly pop with terry cloth on one side. You dunked it in water, put a little bubble soap on it and then blew into a tube. It didn't make regular soap bubbles, it made long foamy snakes. I remember how much I played with that thing and knew my boys would enjoy a toy like that.

made two tonight for my girls, worked superbly. Just make sure to tell the kids to BLOW..... when taking in air, they ended up with a mouth full of bubbles!

This looks SOOO fun! Just be careful playing with this in the yard, as I have heard that some dish soaps can kill grass.
