Home made bubbles



What child does not like bubbles?  Sophie loves them and i always seem to have them in my shopping basket, so i thought it was time to make them myself and there are many places on the internet they can give you recipes for them.

I made my recipe with the following ingredients my water and soap were equal i have found recipes that had less soap in it but when we blew the bubbles they didn't last very long and i had to keep adding more soap.  oh i made a lot as we blow bubbles all the time so feel free to make the recipe smaller.

6 cups of water
6 cups of soap
2 tblsp glycerin
1 cup corn syrup




We also made our own bubble tools, 4 straws taped together to make tiny bubble pipe.  A fruit shot bottle bottle with some muslin over the top to make bubble snakes.

We also recycled a fabric conditioner bottle with tap to make a bubble station so the kids can just help themselves to more bubble liquid  ( i saw this somewhere recently and i cant remember where but what a great idea of a bottle)

    Bubbles are the best! I hadn't heard of the corn syrup in them before.

      yes its a chemistry thing normal bubbles pop to quickly by adding the sugar it creates a polymer making the bubbles stronger and therefor lasting longer. hope that helps :D

    We buy so many bubble blowers and as soon as the shop-bought mixture runs out, we try to refill with washing up liquid and water, but it's never the same!
    Will definitely be trying this out...where do you get corn syrup from by the way?!
