How to Make Giant Bubbles
It's Day 24 of our 31 Days of Outdoor Activities for Toddlers series and information technology also happened to be the last day of school for my older two kids! We celebrated with our neighbors and friends with popsicles, outdoor marble runs, and these Behemothic Bubbles!
I am non exaggerating one bit when I tell you that the kids played with these giant bubbles for Three hours. Yes three! My neighbor tin also attest because we were outside with them the entire time. And I am not talking nigh only little kids…nosotros had 3-year olds all the way to 13-yr olds in our yard during this time. And believe information technology or non, the xiii-year one-time is the one who loved the bubbles the most!
If you don't care about making enough bubble solution to make life-size bubbling, just make 1/iii of the bubble solution below and utilise diverse bubble blowers. One of the kids' favorites was tying a loop of cord together, dipping it into the bubble solution, and then running to make the bubbling in wacky shapes.
Our giant bubbles were inspired by Two Prince Bakery Theater and we modified the original recipe slightly.
Here is the recipe to fill a baby puddle of chimera solution:
3 emtpy gallon-size jugs
vi cups of Dawn dishwashing soap (2 cups per gallon)
3 cups of corn syrup (1 loving cup per gallon)
3 packets of Knox unflavored Gelatin (1 packet per gallon or ii one/4 teaspoons THM Gelatin per gallon)
Water
Funnel
Cord
Hula Hoops
Large Tarp (to place underneath baby pool)
Tips for getting Behemothic Bubbling to work their best:
- Make your bubble solution the day earlier you want to make giant bubbles. Cascade the Dawn, corn syrup, and gelatin into the bottom of the empty gallon milk jug using a funnel. Very slowly add together water to the top of the milk jug. Add the cap and milk shake vigorously. Let sit overnight.
- Meanwhile, loosely wrap the string effectually the hula hoop until it meets back at the beginning. Tie the ends. This will help the hula hoop "grip" the bubble solution improve.
- A few hours before you are fix to apply the behemothic bubbles, cascade the solution into the babe puddle. The longer it sits in the puddle, the better the bubbles will piece of work.
Edited to Add: I propose doing this on a grassy surface because the area around the baby pool will become really slick (and kids could hurt themselves if they fall on a harder surface like concrete or wood decking). However, Please PUT A TARP DOWN ON THE GRASS BEFORE YOU BEGIN . Otherwise two days afterward the grass around the pool will die!!! Oopsies. :( Thankfully, I take an understanding husband who doesn't mind re-seeding!
Now please excuse the excessive amount of pictures to embark…
Once y'all are done, have another adult help you tilt the pool with the bubble solution and use the funnel to put whatever solution is left dorsum into the gallon milk jugs.
