Blowing Bubbles in the Backyard

One of life's simple pleasures...

We love bubbles at our house. I make up a gallon of bubble solution in a small plastic waste basket. I pick up a few big bubble wands from the Dollar Store. Total cost under $5.00 for days of fun!

Here is the formula I use. Glycerin can be expensive and hard to find. Corn syrup works almost as well is readily available.

Exploratorium Bubble Formula (from the Exploratorium web site)

• 2/3 cup dishwashing soap

• 1 gallon water

• 2 to 3 tablespoons of glycerin (available in pharmacies)
