Homemade Bubbles!

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.

Several dishes, including Mexican fajitas, Cajun seafood, sausage & eggs, and of course, cornbread, are hailed as delicious when prepared in these pans. Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
