Want an engineering project for your kids that rocks?! This bubble blower machine was a seriously fun project to make with my kids!! We all had a lot of fun figuring out that worked and didn't as well as playing with it at the end!

Want to make one for yourself? Follow along to learn how!

How to Make a Bubble Blower Machine

Supples Needed:

2 Styrofoam Blocks (12 inches long)
1 Round Styrofoam Piece (8 inch diameter)
1 Wooden Dowel
Pipe Cleaners or Wire
1 Large Pan
Bubble Solution (You can make your own, or buy the big bottles at the store)

There was a lot of trial and error with this project, but we finally found a working solution! That's the fun with engineering projects. Sometimes they even end up not working, but we still learn from it, right?!

Begin with making a hole through the center of the round styrofoam piece. I did it using the dowel so it is just the right size. A pencil or something pointy may help to start the hole.

Then on the long blocks, make similar holes at about 5 and a half inches.

Use the wire or pipe cleaners to make the bubble blowing rings. We started with the regular wire, but ended up switching to pipe cleaner and it seemed to work better.

Cut pieces of pipe cleaners (or wire) about 8-10 inches long. Then twist them into loops with a step to push them into the edge of the round styrofoam piece.

We made 6 loops and evenly spaced them around the ring. (You may want to put these on before

Put the dowel through all three styrofoam pieces with the round piece in the center. The spacing will depend on the width of the pan you are using.

Fill your pan with bubble solution. You will want it filled all the way to the very top so the bubble wands get fully immersed into it. You will have a little bit of trial and error here, too. You need a pan long enough to not be bumped on the edges as the bubble blowers are turned. You also want the wants pushed in enough that they do not get stuck on the bottom of the ban as they are turned. This took a little bit of figuring out, but it will work!

We also switched from wire to pipe cleaners part way through the project because the bubbles were not blowing out very well. Once we made this switch, they came out really well!

Once you have it all assembled, it is time to PLAY! You just turn the dowel to spin the machine make sure there is solution in the bubble wand and blow through it. You can also discuss Simple Machines with this project! We have a wheel and a gear.

This is part of the 28 Days of STEAM series hosted by Left Brain Craft Brain. Stop over there for more Engineering projects this week!

In this post, we will show you how we made some really fun mouth and tooth arts and crafts for kids to learn the names and locations of teeth!

We love arts & crafts for kids, especially if they are educational, right?

It makes all the mess kind of worth it, in my opinion.

In this post, we will show you how we made some really fun mouth and tooth arts and crafts for kids to learn the names and locations of teeth!

The best part? The teeth are made out of mini marshmallows!

Don't forget to visit our resources hub for music and fine arts! It is full of wonderful hands-on ideas for you to use at home.

Mouth & Tooth Arts & Crafts for Kids

Kids can learn the human teeth names while having fun! To make this fun mouth and tooth art and craft for kids, you will need:
Construction Paper, 9-Inches by 12-Inches, 100-Count, Assorted Kraft Jet Puffed Mini Marshmallows, 10 Ounce Bag (Pack of 2) 2-Pack - Aleene's Original Scissors Heavy Duty Multi-Purpose Titanium Coating Forged

constructions paper (1 pink sheet and 1 red sheet)

mini marshmallows (32 per child)

tacky glue

scissors

Tooth & Names Positions

Make these free arts and crafts for kids to learn tooth names positions with just your kids or in a homeschool co-op group!

1 Take 1 pink construction paper sheet and fold it in half along the narrow end.

Cut along the crease. Fold one half and cut a semi-circle.

When opened, it will look like an oval.

The top half will be the top of the mouth and the bottom half will be the bottom of the mouth.

2 Count 32 mini marshmallows and divide into 2 equal groups of 16.

3 Start at the bottom of the mouth craft.

Using your glue, make a line along the rounded part (see picture below).

Before you continue, let me tell you that you might also like these lesson and art and craft ideas:

Let's continue with these creative crafts for kids!

4 Starting in the middle, glue 2 mini marshmallows, which will be the incisors (bottom center teeth) and work your way out until all 16 teeth are glued.

Try to keep them even on both sides.

5 Let dry completely.

6 Let's do the same thing, but on the top side of the mouth craft.

Starting in the middle, glue 2 mini marshmallows, which will be the incisors (top center teeth) and work your way out until all 16 teeth are glued.

Try to keep them even on both sides.

7 Dry completely.

8 Take the red construction paper and cut out a tongue and a 1×5 strip.

9 Glue the tongue on the bottom part of the mouth. Let dry.

10 Close the mouth craft. Glue the strip on the top part of the mouth craft.

The fingers will go inside the strip to open and close.

Thank you for taking a look at our post!

Spark students' imaginations by creating DIY Robot Hands from paper, straws, and string with this hands-on learning activity from Simple STEAM. Children will hone their engineering and creative thinking skills in this fun STEAM activity!

What is a DIY Robot Hand?

The DIY Robot Hand is a simple and inventive engineering activity that will teach children all about the world of robotics! With just three common items-straws, paper, and string-students can create a moving, bendable hand. This activity encourages exploration of robotics, engineering, and creative thinking, making it an ideal STEAM activity for students.

How does this activity tie in with STEAM learning?

The DIY Robot Hand STEAM Activity is a perfect example of the interconnectedness of arts and technology. Not only does this activity encourage engineering exploration and scientific inquiry about robotic technology, but it also requires students to think creatively about designing and building their own robotic hand.

Why is it important to focus on STEAM learning in early childhood education?

It's important to encourage student involvement in both arts and technology. The DIY Robot Hand STEAM Activity combines the best aspects of both fields by having students design and create an engineering marvel. Artistry and design are pivotal to the development of scientific technology, especially in the field of robotics. Including art in STEM fields creates a more approachable and dynamic view of the technology sector.

How can teachers include this activity in the classroom as part of a lesson?

The DIY Robot Hand STEAM Activity encourages students to think about how the human body functions, robotic technology in the real world, and elements of design. It incorporates elements of STEM and art for a dynamic and entertaining learning opportunity.

Download our FREE printable below!

Required Materials:

Trace hand (adult hand recommended for larger size) onto card stock. Cut hand outline out with scissors. Place hand back onto paper hand to mark location of joints. Fold the paper hand at the marked joint locations.

Cut the standard straws into ¼", ½", 1", and 2 ¼" sizes. Tape standard straws onto hand, and tape the jumbo straw onto the wrist.

Using a different yarn color for each finger, cut five strands of yarn into 2-foot-long pieces. Be sure to knot one end of each piece of yarn. Thread one yarn strand through each finger. Use a different yarn color for each finger. Have all colors meet at the wrist.

Pull on the strings individually and in combination to explore the wonder of robotic hands!

Include the DIY Robot Hand STEAM Activity into your classroom to provide a creative STEAM activity that encourages students to participate in scientific inquiry and artistic expression. Be sure to browse our list of STEM and STEAM products, resources, and professional development.
