So, I have an old garden style bathtub in my double wide. It has a Delta Roman style faucet accessory kit. I am trying to figure out a way to decrease the size of the opening, aside from using my hand or some other ghetto rigging method, so that the pressure will seem stronger. (The pressure is fine, but the faucet opening is so wide that it does not properly "feel" pressurized) I have 2 toddlers and A. They like bubbles and I have a spinal injury that makes it difficult to stay bent over holding my hand over it to make "bigger" bubbles, and B. I am looking at getting a hose attachment that just slips over the faucet. I have no idea if that would be impacted by any other changes made to the faucet, but I'm not a plumber, so, while I could probably figure out how to get an entirely new accessory kit, I am not confident I would do it correctly.
I have already remodeled the second bathroom but did need some assistance in the plumbing area when it came time to change out the actual plumbing pieces. (I posted here about it, actually, and you guys were amazing! The plumber I had hired was less amazing haha)
There is an access door so I *can* actually see underneath if this helps in any way. It's an extremely old tub. It's original color was yellow but the house flipper painted it white. Just another fun detail:D

Slip over doo-hickey is your best bet. sorry. Cost for anything further would be off scale not worth it.
Garden hose from your water heater drain fitting an adjustable hand-held garden sprayer will make tons of foamy bubbles.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
