How to make your own bubbles

Making your bubbles at home is an inexpensive way to entertain your little one and your family for hours.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• liquid detergent (not the ones for dishwashers)
• water (distilled works the best but tap is great too)
• Karo syrup
• liquid measuring cup
• 1 tablespoon and 1/2 tablespoon measuring devices
• container for mixing
• container(s) with lid(s) for storing

1. 

   Select your liquid dish-washing soap. Dawn seems to work the best. Pour 1/4 cup into a mixing bucket, or pitcher.

2. 

   Slowly add in 3/4 cup water and gently mix. Remember to keep the bubbles down to a minimum that way you'll have them for the actual bubble blowing fun.

3. Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoon of Karo syrup to mixture, again mixing gently but completely.

4. 

   Pour your mixture into an appropriate size dish according to your bubble blowing capabilities and enjoy.
