A bubble's life expectancy is short; unless you mix up super bouncer bubbles These bubbles will bounce off any surface that is independent of oil or dirt particles that can break down the film. These bubble recipes are just the thing when throwing a party. Make them up in a flash for that pending birthday bash.

Tips & Warnings
Climate can affect bubble solutions. Try experimenting getting the formula just right a few days prior to the party or play day. Dry climates cause bubble solutions to need added water, as much as twice the amount in the recipes. Bubbles will last longer on cooler, humid days, so it is best to blow the bubbles in the morning or evening, in hotter climates. Try using a shaded place if there is one nearby and available.
To keep the soap from irritating young childrens' eyes, substitute the dish soap with tear-free baby shampoo.
Mix up the bubble solution two to three days in advance, so the alcohol in the soap can evaporate. Bigger and longer-lasting bubbles will be the result.
