How to Make Bubblegum Shapes

Think Outside the Box!

Next time you're making bubblegum, try using fuzzy craft wire, also known as chenille wire or pipe cleaner wire. Twist the ends together to make a loop. Fasten the ends to a dowel, pencil, or straw. Then, shape the loop however you want it. A neat bit of science happens next: no matter what shape you make the loop, the bubble will always relax into a sphere. This can be a fun and educational activity for children or a creative challenge for adults.
