How to Make homemade blowing bubbles and wands that are better for the environment

I got to thinking of spring and thought that blowing bubbles are always fun in the spring. This article will explain a natural way to make your own blowing bubbles and blowing bubble wand. This is fun and easy. It is also a good way to teach your kids to reuse items.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup natural liquid detergent like method
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 3 cups water
• Popsicle sticks
• Yogurt, margarine, or sour cream lids

1. To make the blowing bubbles mix you will need to mix your 1 cup liquid dish detergent with one cup corn syrup and 3 cups water. You can also use glycerin instead of corn syrup in your blowing bubbles mix.

2. For your blowing bubbles wand you will want to cut out the center of the yogurt, sour cream or margarine lids. Then super glue the Popsicle stick to your lid. This is such a great way to reuse a container.

3. Now go outside because this will be messy and dip the bubble wand in your blowing bubbles mix and swing it in circles to make bubbles. You could also use a fly swatter with holes for your bubble wand. Do not swallow and wash hands after using the blowing bubbles.

on 2/16/2009 I remember doing this when I was little! A neat trick you can do is tie a string on each side of a kid-sized hula hoop, and have a little kid stand inside it, then you lift it up and they are inside a bubble! They need to wear goggles though so they don't get soap in their eye when it pops.
