This entire week my son has asked to play with bubbles after dinner. The sun is lower, the weather is cool at that time, and there has been a nice breeze. We have spent up to an hour making large bubbles and running around popping them. I will always remember an experience I had with my Pre-K students years ago. I found some unpoppable bubbles back then and we played with them in the classroom. I remember their little fingers and heads being covered in bubbles. The children LOVED them and I have always wanted to give that same experience to my son. They still sell these bubbles, but they come in a TINY tube and they didn't work as well as I remember. So.........in my quest to create some interesting bubble fun, I found a BOUNCY BUBBLE recipe (at Steve Spangler). My son and I made it last night because it has to "age" for 24 hours. I have to admit, it was a huge bust with him - LOL. He had absolutely NO interest in it. It was so cool, however, that I wanted to share it with all of you (so I lured in my other child....er....um....I mean, husband). ;)
- AK (MESE, MECD)
Thing you need:
- 1 C distilled drinking water
- 1 Tablespoon dish soap
- 1 Teaspoon of glycerin (I ordered mine online)
- straw (this is just what I chose to blow the bubbles with, Im assuming you can use a typical bubble wand)
- 1 clean glove (or sock) - (this is to keep the bubble from popping)
MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND LET SIT FOR 24 HOURS
You can catch the bubbles
