Bubbles are Period

I am making bubble wands this quarter. Why you ask because i am. I do try and have a yearly project that is kid based. Besides my adult projects. The challenge I face is i make the best bubble solutions but when giving children a thing it is smartest to do so in a child safe container.
By this i mean a parent friendly one. Cant leak to easily, won't break easily, but looks period.
As such i may break tradition and by bubble solution from the dollar tree. At 33 cents each. Then make felt covers for them. Not award winning but it is still fun and functional. When i do this I will add on to this post.
Yes they used a reed as a bubble pipe I however an going for the copper wire with glass pony beads for the shiney factor that kids like.

ludus duodecim scriptorum & duodecim scripta,

Ludus duodecim scriptorum , or XII scripta, was a board game popular during the time of the Roman Empire. It was played anywhere that Rome  controlled. Most boards found are stone. It was so popular that most of the surviving game boards found around cities were professionally carved. iI seems like there were plenty of public boards, Like the chess boards in city park today. It is believed that folks carried playing pieces and dice with them.  The game pieces were called  pessoi,  the name of another game; much in the way a checker piece derives its name from the game Pessoi was also a game. Pessoi as a proper noun implies a little round pebbles or pottery sherds.  Hand stamped board on linen with Flame worked glass pessoi and Pyorgphyed Wooded Dices the I make and sell email me for prices. I also Print these on cotton and silk to fit your budget. Much lighter then a stone boad wouldn't you say.  Eventually the Boards changed and became a  worded board with tongue in cheek j

Daldos What Type of game is it, How to play,  Where and when it was played,   & my theories on it.  Part of My Mary Rose Project Marilyn Strawberry Holt  known in the SCA as THL Mwynwen Ysginidd   Denmark and Norway share a game called Daldos or Daldosa and have relative variations played as far north as Lappland.  This game has evidence of being a coastal town game played today in the northern area of Europe. (Jaeren,Thy, Mors, Fano, Bornholm) This is a racing game that has direct capture, it is played with a pair of 4-sided dice. It could also be called a running fight game. somewhere between a racing game and a capture game. For years this style of game was only believed to have been played in the Arab-Muslim world. These games form a group with many variations, known under various names from West Africa to India - tab,taba,tab wa-dukk in the Middle East; sig, sik, sir, siki, in North Africa- sig wa-duqqan  As with most all games from history, the rules are oral traditions rarel

Daldos

 DALDOS the ship game of the Mary Rose ship wreck. There is a neglected category of board game the is neither pure war not nor pure race. It is an in-between categories. This is were the game Daldos falls. With all games from history I feel I need to point out these are oral traditions writen rules are a modern idea. The other thing is that playing more then one game on any board is also a common thing looks as a chess/checker board and you understand what this means.  This games seems to have evidice of beening  a coastal town game played till today in the northern area of Europe. (Jaeren,Thy, Mors, Fano, Bornholm) However historic boards have been found in Novgorod Russia, (15 lines) 14th century made of spruce. With the back having nine man Morris on it.
