Homemade bubbles
ages 2-6
Supplies
Dishwashing liquid (Joy or Dawn), water, glycerin (can be found at a drugstore)
Activity Detail
Mix together 2/3 cup of dishwashing liquid (Joy or Dawn work best), 1 quart of water, and 1/3 cup of glycerin. Stir with a whisk to combine all ingredients. Then pour a small amount of the liquid into a bowl or bowls for the kids to use. Use your imagination when finding bubble makers -- plastic berry baskets are great for making lots of little bubbles and wire hangers can be bent to create great big bubbles!

In our house we go through containers of bubbles at a quick clip, so this recipe comes in very handy!

Other Savvy parents recommend making bubbles with a 10-15 inch string, tied in a circle. Lay the circle of string down into the soapy water, and when you lift it up, you will create a BIG bubble that your children will love.
