Whopper Bubbles

Equipment:

• Bubble solution either homemade or purchased
• Deli containers

Here is a bubble solution:

• 1/2 cup dish soap or baby shampoo
• 1 1/2 cups water (though I have used as much as 2
• 1/2 cups and gotten good results.)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 drop food coloring (optional)

Activity:

Huge bubbles can be made by even small children by
using lightweight deli containers as the hoop.

Cut the bottom of the containers out. This can be
done with a serrated knife, a scissors, or a craft
knife.

Pour bubble solution into a container larger around
than the container.

Hold the deli container's rim, dip it into the
solution and move the container in a large
sweeping motion. You can experiment with the speed
you use, and pausing for just a moment can affect
the size of the bubbles.

This can be an activity to take along to places
where we will be waiting out-of-doors (parade
routes, for instance) or to preschool picnics.
All that is necessary is to carry the bubble
solution in a sealed bowl.
