Make your own super bubbles at home.

A small amount of dish washing liquid and water and any child can blow a few small soap bubbles in the backyard. One secret ingredient exists, however, that will allow children to blow super-sized soap bubbles that are less likely to pop too quickly. In addition, children can make a large bubble wand with which they can create even more enormous super soap bubbles. MadSci Network recommends this activity for children aged 11 to 13.

Things You'll Need

  • Coat hanger
  • Large tub
  • One qt. water
