Homemade Bubbles!
By Brenda Hyde
Bubbles have long been a traditional warm weather fun
activity for kids. Below is just one of so many recipes
I've run across for making your own bubbles. Buy a couple
of clean fly swatters, or use anything with plastic with holes!
Blow bubbles until the air is filled and the kids are laughing!
Bubble Formula
You'll need:
l part Regular Dawn or Joy Dish Soap
10 parts water
.25 parts glycerin or white Karo syrup
If you have hard water use bottled distilled water
instead of tap water. Store in a covered container
and pour into a pie plate for using.
Remember, help the litte ones, so they don't get
the solution in their eyes and start rubbing. If they
do take them inside and gently rinse their eyes with
water, or dab them with a warm wet washcloth.
