1 gallon water
1/2 cup Joy dishwashing liquid
1/4 cup glycerine (obtained from your local pharmacy)

This solution gets better with age. The longer it sits, the stronger the bubbles.

Bubble Fun:

Target Practice:
Create big bubbles (with a ten-inch wand...purchased at a store, or homemade with a coat hanger), then use them as target practice with water guns.

Bubblemania:
For a larger group of children, make several gallons of the Bubble Recipe and fill a small inflatable pool with the mixture. Have bubble wands of all sizes for everyone to dip into the pool...and watch the bubbles fly!

"Night Bubbles":
When it starts to get dark, use flashlights to shine on your bubbles..."We discovered that the flashlight's beam picked up the color patterns in the bubbles as they drifted and undulated in the dark. It was breathtaking. The coolness of the evening air made the bubbles last a long time, and the breeze made them dance. Try it - you'll love it" Family Fun magazine, June 1995

Giant Soap Bubble Wand:
"Want to create really huge bubbles? Use two drinking straws, and a length of string, about 48-inches long. Thread the string through both of the straws, and knot the ends. Lay the straws and string down in the soap solution. Gently lift up the straws, one in each hand. Spread the straws apart as you lift, and a giant bubble will form. Wave your arms across in the air, and it will be set free, to float up, up and away!"
