BUBBLES, BUBBLES, BUBBLES!
Everyone loves to play with bubbles, right? You can create the perfect giant bubble on your own by making it a family fun activity.
Try to choose a day that has more than 35% humidity and less wind in the atmosphere.
MATERIALS
6 cups water
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups dish washing soap (it is best to use a good quality liquid detergent such as joy detergent
One dish pan, cake pan, skillet, or plastic bin. (make sure the container is large enough for the mixing and stirring)
Open a glow stick and pour in the contents for these to glow in the dark!
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, (at least 3 quarts) stir water and corn syrup until combined.
Add dish washing liquid and stir very gently until well mixed.
(Try not to make any bubbles.) Dip (don't stir) bubble wands into bubble liquid and blow bubbles, run with the wand, wave your arm, or spin around and let the air move the bubble.
Remove the foam that appears on the surface.
