What you will need:
* 1 c Water
* 2 tb Light Karo syrup OR 2 Tablespoons Glycerin
* 4 tb Dishwashing liquid
Mix together and have fun!
A fly swatter will produce plenty of itty-bitty bubbles. Simply dunk it into the liquid and spin around. No clean, unused swatter on hand? The little plastic baskets that berries come in work great as well. Plunge the basket into your bubble solution and wave it around. Or cut the basket into several squares or other shapes. Older kids may enjoy trimming their initials or a paddle out of the grid-like plastic.
Remember your grandpa’s pipe cleaners? They're still around! And they are ideal for constructing bubble blowers. Twist two together into a circle and wind on another for a handle. Help your little ones bend the wire into fun shapes like hearts, diamonds, or even stars.
Of course, there’s always the durable yet pliable wire clothes hanger. Unwind the hanger and straighten out the wire, loop a small section at one end and use the length as a handle. Or for bigger bubbles leave the hanger intact and simply stretch the opening into your favorite shape. Use the uncurled top as a grip. For safety’s sake wrap the ends with duct tape to cover sharp edges. Cotton twine wound around the wand will act as a wick, helping you make better bubbles.
