You make bubbles with a solution and a tool for blowing air through it.
Making the Bubble Solution
Here's a simple and effective recipe for making bubble solution:
-
Ingredients:
- 3 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup dish soap (Dawn or Joy work well)
- 2-3 tablespoons corn syrup
-
Instructions:
- Gently mix the warm water, dish soap, and corn syrup together in a container. Try to avoid creating too many bubbles while stirring.
- Let the mixture sit for a little while. This allows the ingredients to fully combine and creates more durable bubbles.
Tools for Blowing Bubbles
You can use a variety of tools to blow bubbles:
- Bubble Wand: These are readily available in stores and come in various shapes and sizes.
- Straw: A simple drinking straw works surprisingly well!
- DIY Wands: Get creative! You can bend wire hangers, cut shapes out of plastic containers, or even use slotted spoons.
The Process
Once you have your bubble solution and your blowing tool, the process is straightforward:
- Dip the bubble wand or straw into the bubble solution.
- Slowly and gently blow air through the loop or opening. Avoid blowing too hard, as this will likely pop the bubble before it forms completely.
- Watch the bubbles float away!
