Want to get crafty this summer with your kiddos? All summer long we'll be sharing fun and easy crafts! Starting off with Colorful Scented Bubbles

You'll need:
Nellie’s Free Range Egg Cartons
Unscented dish soap Glycerin*
Essential oils
Food coloring
Bottles or jars (with lids)
Scissors
Wire and/or pipe cleaners
Wire cutters

How To:
Step 1
Open up the empty egg carton and cut along each hinge so that you have three pieces. The two egg-compartment pieces will be used for holding bubbles, while the flat lid piece can be recycled or used as a tray for the bubble blowers.
Step 2
Time to make some bubbles! There are TONS of different and amazing bubble recipes online; we adapted this one and loved how it turned out. In a pitcher, mix together 6 cups of water, 1 cup of unscented dish soap, and 1 Tbsp of glycerin. Make sure to use unscented dish soap here, or the scent will compete with the essential oils later. Stir the solution to combine
Step 3
This solution is your bubble base. Pour into 8 jars or bottles, one for each color of the rainbow.
Step 4
Add a drop of food coloring into each jar so that you have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. If you have more jars, you can mix up extra colors too, like pink or indigo. Once the colors are mixed, add a drop or two of essential oil to each color. These are the combinations we used, but feel free to adapt this using the oils you have on hand. Stir to combine.
Step 5
To make the bubble wands, we used armature wire (find this in the clay aisle at the craft store) because of how nicely it bends. Have fun making fun loopy shapes (we were inspired by vintage rug beaters!), making sure that they either fit into the openings on your jars or are the size of one egg compartment. Use tape to secure the handles if necessary, or simply twist the wire together. Pipe cleaners work in a similar way and are a great option for younger kids. Once shaped, your bubble blowers are ready to use, but you can choose to give them a quick coat of spray paint if desired.
Step 6
To set up your rainbow bubble station, pour the colored bubbles into the egg compartments.
