Homemade Bubbles

I don’t know about your kids, but mine are obsessed with bubbles! Everything has to do with bubbles. We have bubble machines, bubble blowers, and bubble wavers. My son will play with his bubbles until there is nothing left to play with. At first I thought buying the large oversized container of bubbles at $5.00 a piece would be enough, but no. Between my son and our three dogs that oversized container of bubbles would be gone in two days. Who has time to run to Target every two days to pick up bubbles?

I quickly found the answer to my bubble prayers after my 19-month-old son had a temper tantrum of all tantrums over his empty bubbles…..I could make our own bubbles with ingredients right from my kitchen quickly and wicked cheap.

Ingredients needed:

2 cups water

1/2 cup liquid dish soap

1/8 cup corn syrup

large container

Add all the ingredients to the large container and shake or mix well. I would let the mixture sit for a minute before using. After a few minutes sit back and watch the bubbles fly!

If you really want to get unique and fancy you can add food coloring to the mixture. Just be careful not to play with the bubbles on surfaces you do not want to stain ( I learned my lesson the hard way).

By son kept storing the mixture. That is why it is the off white color.
