My kids love play bubbles, esp in these warm late afternoons in Spring. They use out a whole package and keep asking for more, and I am wondering if I can make it myself. Luckily I found the ingredients here. And would like to share with you.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 c. water
- 2 T. corn syrup
- 4 T. liquid dish soap (Dawn and Palmolive)
DIRECTIONS:
- In a small container, mix all ingredients together
- Pour into bubble dispenser (it’s easiest with a small funnel)
It takes all about 5 minutes to mix up the bubbles, refill bottles, and head back outside for more fun.
