I bet you haven't given this blowing bubble activity any thought
as a child party activity?

I'm not talking about little kids blowing little bubbles from
those little containers - no, I'm talking about blowing HUGE
bubbles. I bet you didn't even know that it was possible? Yes,
your bigger kids and their friends can have a lot of fun with
this blowing bubble activity and what's more, it's inexpensive
too... especially if you know how to make the right bubble
solution and tools.

I'll give you a few recipes to try out and also a couple of tool
ideas. You can have lots of fun experimenting with the mixtures
and creating your own original bubble making tools.

Bubble Tools

There are so many things around you that can be used to make
bubbles. Wire hangers bent into different shapes, empty milk
containers, string, plastic bowls, or even your bare hands held
in the right position. Make a circle with your thumb and index
finger or make an even bigger circle using both hands' thumbs
and index fingers.

Bubble Solution

The really big bubbles need lots of solution which can get quite
expensive. It's therefor a lot more economical to mix your own.

The best detergents to use are Joy and Dawn detergents but you
need to experiment to see what works best for you. You also need
either glycerine or white Karo Syrup. This ensures colorful,
sturdy bubbles. Glycerine can be bought from most drug stores,
but it is expensive. Karo Syrup is available at the grocery
store and is less expensive. Amazingly enough, not any water is
suitable! Hard water does not work whereas soft water does. Try
using your tap water, but if you fail to get good bubbles, try
using distilled water.

Solution 1:

1 Part Dawn Ultra/Joy Ultra : 15 parts distilled/soft water :
0.25 part glycerine/white Karo Syrup

Solution 2:

1 Part Regular Dawn /Regular Joy : 10 parts distilled/soft water
: 0.25 part glycerine/white Karo Syrup

Solution 3:

2 Parts Regular Dawn /Regular Joy : 4 parts glycerine : 1 part
white Karo Syrup

Most importantly - just have FUN!
