Homemade Bubbles


Yesterday, I made bubbles.  Daddy wanted sugar bubbles, like the ones at Gymboree, but it turns out those are corn syrup and glycerin.  Not bad.  But, most of the at-home recipes use dish soap.  You can just google bubble solution recipes and find a bunch.  I decided to not use any kind of sugar solution, because we're having a bug problem and I didn't want the sugar to exacerbate the situation.

We could sporadically blow some bubbles.  We don't have any bubble wands yet (I just decided to do this on a whim), so I couldn't tell if my shoddy foil wands were the problem, if the solution needed to set awhile (as some website suggested), or if I just need to try a new recipe. 

Here's the recipe I used:
  • 1/4 cup natural, biodegradable dish detergent (Like Seventh Generation Free & Clear)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon glycerin
