How to Make Monstrous Bubbles

Blowing bubbles is a fun activity for children and adults. Have a contest to see who can blow the biggest bubble. Watch others while they blow bubbles, then whip out your large bubble wand to make monstrous bubbles that will amaze everyone. For best results, you may need to make your own bubble solution; you need a lot of solution for a monstrous bubble. 

Things You'll Need

• Water
• Measuring cup
• Large tub or container

Instructions

Make the Bubble Solution:

1. Pour 12 cups of water into a large tub or container. A good option is a plastic child's wading pool.

2. Stir in 1 cup of liquid dish washing soap. Stir slowly; you do not want to create bubbles at this point of the process.

3. Pour in 3 tbsp. to 4 tbsp. of glycerin. This helps keep the bubbles from popping easily.

 

4. Let the mixture sit at least four hours; overnight is better. It helps the mixture to meld together completely.

Different Wands

5. Straighten the hooked part of a wire clothes hanger. You may need to use pliers to achieve this step. Stretch out the remainder of the hanger until it is a rough circle. You can also create other shapes if you wish. Dip the circular part in the soap mixture and wave it in the air to make bubbles.

6. Pour the bubble mixture into a large plastic lid; pour it until it just barely overflows, so you know it is completely full. Place your straw into the mixture and gently blow. Continue to blow until you have used all the bubble mixture in the lid. Keep the straw inside the bubble at all times so you can continue making it larger.

7. Place a Hula Hoop into the soap mixture. Swish it around slowly so it gets completely covered with the soap mixture. Pick the hula hoop up and wave it through the air gently.
