Monstrous Bubbles
I have created the perfect concoction for MONSTROUS bubbles! Using only five ingredients, these bubbles are long lasting and provide hours of fun!
To make the MONSTROUS Bubble Mix, you will need a shallow bowl, whisk, 6 cups distilled or purified water, 3/4 cup Dawn Ultra dish soap, 1/2 cup corn starch, 1 Tablespoon baking powder and 1/3 cup vegetable Glycerin.
Gently whisk together all of the ingredients in the shallow bowl until combined. A shallow bowl allows for mixing evenly without creating a bubbly and foamy mixture (the MONSTROUS bubbles will pop faster….and we definitely do not want that). Below is a picture of what your mixture will look when combined and this is what it should look like when you remix again after sitting. Previously, I have stored my bubble mix in an old gallon jug with a small spout…..what a failure that was! The trick is to have a large open mouth container (hence the shallow bowl) because as you will see, when the mixture sits, the cornstarch will settle at the bottom of the bowl. With an open mouth bowl, I can easily mix again before use without causing foam. With the small spouted jug, the only way to mix was to shake…..and we can all picture what that looked like…..SUDS SUDS SUDS and the cornstarch remained caked on the bottom…..*palm in face*
I ordered our Bubble Wands from Amazon and they have withstood two years of heavy use. I love these wands because the length can retract to a smaller size for the kids while I can extend them to a more comfortable length for me.
MONSTROUS bubbles are loads of fun for everyone! I enjoy seeing and hearing my kids laugh hysterically…..you know, the kind where you cannot help but laugh with them because their hyperventilating cackles are so infectious…..yeah…..the kind where you feel abdominal muscles you never knew you had…..good times! I hope y’all enjoy this easy DIY activity in your home…..and please feel free to share your experiences in the comment section at the bottom of this page; I would love to hear ALL about them!
