There is something so joyful about blowing bubbles. Making your own bubble solution at home can save a bundle -- twins use double the bubbles!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 10 minutes plus rest time
Here's How:
  1. Combine 1/2 cup dishwashing detergent, 4 1/2 cups water, and 4 tablespoons of glycerin in a large container with a cover.
  2. Mix well, then allow the mixture to rest, covered, until ready for use.
  3. Pour bubble solution into a shallow container. Dip bubble wands -- such as cookie cutters, shaped pipe cleaners or wire -- into the solution and blow!
Tips:
  1. Joy is usually the recommended brand of dishwashing liquid.
  2. For best results, use distilled water.
  3. As an alternative to glycerin, some recipes recommend using white corn syrup.
What You Need:
  • 1/2 c. dishwashing liquid
  • 4 1/2 c. water
