Instructions:
- Mix the Base: Combine two parts water with one part bubble bath in your bowl. For example, you could use 1/2 cup of water and 1/4 cup of bubble bath.
- Add Color (Optional): If you want colored foam, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture.

Tips and Considerations
- Bubble Bath Type: The type of bubble bath can affect the foam. Some bubble baths create thicker, longer-lasting foam than others. Experiment to find your favorite.
- Hand Mixer vs. Whisk: A hand mixer is much faster and easier, but a whisk will work if you don't have a mixer.
- Safety First: Always supervise children when they are playing with foam bubbles. Avoid getting the mixture in their eyes.
- Clean Up: Foam bubbles are easy to clean up with water.
