A bubble wand includes a primary member and an auxiliary member. The primary member is substantially entirely formed in a first, single plane and defines an elongated slot and a first plurality of bubble-forming rings. The first plurality of bubble-forming rings includes a different bubble-forming ring positioned on each of at least two opposing sides of the elongated slot. Each of the first plurality of bubble-forming rings defines an opening therethrough. The auxiliary member is substantially entirely formed in a second, single plane and is coupled to the primary member such that the auxiliary member extends through the elongated slot of the primary member such that a first side portion of the auxiliary member is maintained on a first side of the primary member and a second side portion of the auxiliary member is maintained on a second side of the primary member. The auxiliary member defines at least one additional bubble-forming ring in each of the first side portion and the second side portion of the auxiliary member.

1. A bubble wand comprising: a primary member substantially entirely formed in a first, single plane and defining an elongated slot and a first plurality of bubble-forming rings, wherein the first plurality of bubble-forming rings includes a different bubble-forming ring positioned on each of at least two opposing sides of the elongated slot, and each of the first plurality of bubble-forming rings defines an opening therethrough, and the primary member includes: a bubble-forming body, which defines the first plurality of bubble-forming rings and the elongated slot, the elongated slot being interposed between at least two of the first plurality bubble-forming rings, andan elongated handle extending away from the bubble-forming body; andan auxiliary member substantially entirely formed in a second, single plane and coupled to the primary member such that the auxiliary member extends through the elongated slot of the primary member such that a first side portion of the auxiliary member is maintained on a first side of the primary member and a second side portion of the auxiliary member is maintained on a second side of the primary member, wherein the auxiliary member defines at least one additional bubble-forming ring in each of the first side portion and the second side portion of the auxiliary member. 2. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein the elongated slot has a width substantially equal to a thickness of the auxiliary member. 3. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein the primary member and the auxiliary member extend substantially perpendicularly relative to one another. 4. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein an axial centerline of the primary member and an axial centerline of the auxiliary member are substantially collinear. 5. The bubble wand of claim 4, wherein the first, single plane is offset at least about 45 degrees relative to the second, single plane about the axial centerlines of the primary member and the auxiliary member. 6. The bubble wand of claim 4, wherein the elongated slot is defined along the axial centerline of the primary member. 7. The bubble wand of claim 4, wherein the elongated handle extends away from the bubble-forming body along a portion of the axial centerline of the primary member. 8. The bubble wand of claim 7, wherein the elongated handle defines a coupling feature opposite the bubble-forming body for toollessly coupling with a bottle cover. 9. The bubble wand of claim 8, in combination with a bottle and the bottle cover. 10. The combination of claim 9, further comprising bubble solution maintained within the bottle. 11. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein: the second side portion of the auxiliary member defines a cantilever extending over a topmost edge of the first side portion of the auxiliary member, the cantilever having a hook at a free end of the cantilever,the hook extends away from the elongated slot,the primary member defines an internal edge extending along a perimeter of the elongated slot, anda thickness of the primary member adjacent the internal edge of the primary member is secured between the hook of the cantilever and an opposing surface of the second portion of the auxiliary member to maintain the primary member coupled to the auxiliary member. 12. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein each of the first plurality of bubble-forming rings and each of the at least one additional bubble-forming ring defines a toothed perimeter extending around a corresponding opening extending through each of the first plurality of bubble-forming rings and the at least one additional bubble-forming ring. 13. The bubble wand of claim 1, wherein each of the primary member and the auxiliary member is a single injection molded piece formed separately from the other of the primary member and the auxiliary member. 14. A bubble-forming assembly comprising: a bubble-forming body defining a plurality of bubble-forming apertures divided from one or more others of the plurality of bubble-forming apertures by an opening extending through the bubble-forming body separate from the plurality of bubble-forming apertures, wherein the bubble-forming body is substantially two-dimensional; anda cross member defining additional bubble-forming apertures divided by a solid, elongated spine, wherein the solid, elongated spine is positioned and secured in the opening of the bubble-forming body such that the cross member bisects the bubble-forming body and positions the additional bubble-forming apertures in a plane intersecting the substantially two-dimensional bubble-forming body. 15. The bubble-forming assembly of claim 14, wherein the bubble-forming body defines an axial centerline, the cross member defines an axial centerline, and the axial centerline of the bubble-forming body and the axial centerline of the cross member are substantially collinear. 16. The bubble-forming assembly of claim 14, wherein the cross member extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the substantially two-dimensional bubble-forming body. 17. The bubble-forming assembly of claim 14, further comprising an elongated handle extending away from the bubble-forming body and formed as a single piece with the bubble-forming body. 18. The bubble-forming assembly of claim 14, wherein the cross member includes a coupling extension including a hook spaced from an opposite protrusion, and a thickness of the bubble-forming body immediately adjacent the opening is maintained between the hook and the opposite protrusion of the coupling extension. 19. A method of assembling a bubble wand assembly, the method comprising: providing a primary member formed in a single plane and including a plurality of open, bubble-forming rings each divided from others of the plurality of open, bubble-forming rings by an elongated slot;sliding an auxiliary member partially through the elongated slot to intersect the primary member such that a first side portion of the auxiliary member extends on one side of the primary member and a second side portion of the auxiliary member extends on an opposite side of the primary member, wherein each of the first side portion and the second side portion defines at least one additional bubble-forming ring; andafter sliding the auxiliary member, toollessly securing the auxiliary member relative to the primary member. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising toollessly securing the primary member to a cover for a bottle. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein: sliding the auxiliary member includes deflecting a cantilevered portion of the auxiliary member to move the cantilevered portion through the opening, andtoollessly securing the auxiliary member relative to the primary member includes the cantilevered portion of the auxiliary member biasing back to an original position to facilitate maintaining a thickness of the primary member between two spaced protrusions of the auxiliary member and adjacent to the cantilevered portion of the auxiliary member. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the primary member and the auxiliary member collectively define a bubble wand, and the method further comprises: placing the bubble wand through an opening of the bottle and into a cavity of a bottle,substantially filling the cavity with bubble solution, andsecuring the cover over the opening to maintain the bubble wand and the bubble solution in the cavity. 23.
