Bubble solution recipes

 We had such a nice weather day today... I broke out the new bubbles I bought.  The small bubble holders run out so fast.  Not to mention "accidental dumping!" Then I remembered how easy home made solutions are to make.  They are great to have on hand when the bubble holders get low.  Just fill um up! http://www.tooter4kids.com/Bubbles/Activities_Recipes.htm

Basic Bubbles
2 T dish soap
1 cup water

Sweet Bubbles
1 T corn syrup
2 T dish soap
1 cup water

Magic Bubbles
1 T glycerin
2 T dish soap
9 oz water

Color Bubbles
1 cup liquid tempera paints
2 T dish detergent
1 T liquid starch


Hints for making bubble solutions:

*Mix up the recipes the day before for best results.

*Glycerin is inexpensive and can be found in most drug stores. The children think that the bubbles are so much better that it is worth keeping a small bottle on hand.

*Do NOT use the Sweet Bubbles recipe if you have bees or wasps in your yard.

*Color Bubbles can be a bit messy. Be sure to use yse washable paint. You can add also add a little water if the mix is too thick.
