You’ll need:
• 1 cup liquid dishwashing soap
• 2 cups water
• ¼ cup glycerin (available at pharmacies)
Here’s how:
Combine liquid detergent, water, and glycerin in a dishpan, cake tin, or other
open container. Stir, do not shake. Making the solution a day in advance will
make it stronger.
Bubble Makers
Young children enjoy experimenting with a variety of bubble makers for
bubbles of all different sizes.
• Use a clean, plastic fly swatter (with lots of holes); dip in bubble solution
and wave back and forth.
• Cut the bottom off of a paper cup; dip the large end in the bubble solution,
blow through the smaller end for bigger bubbles.
• Dip one end of a toilet paper or paper towel tube (or cardboard juice can
with both ends removed) into the bubble solution; blow through the other
end.
• Other bubble makers can be made from embroidery hoops, plastic berry
baskets, and plastic straws.
(Be careful that children don’t inhale through straws)
