How to Make Bubbles with Dish Soap

Children love to blow bubbles. A bubble mixture is readily available in stores and is generally inexpensive but there is an even cheaper way to go about it. A simple bubble-blowing solution can be made in your kitchen with ingredients and equipment you likely already have. With this method, you can potentially make gallons of bubble solution for the price you would pay for one bubble mixture in the store.

Things You'll Need

• Jar
• Measuring cup
• Water
• Liquid dish soap
• Spoon
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

1. Fill an empty jar with water. Use a measuring cup so you can keep track of how much water is in the jar.

2. Add two tbsp. of liquid dish soap for each cup of water. For example, if you poured two cups of water in the jar, you need to add four tbsp. of dish soap.

3. Stir the mixture with a spoon. Stir gently to avoid a mess of overflowing bubbles.

4. For best results, let the mixture sit for at least a day before using it.

Tips & Warnings

• Add a couple drops of food coloring to make colored bubbles.
