Bubbles, Bubbles, Giant Bubbles
Edward's co-op teacher gave us a wire coated hanger shaped in a circle, with rope. We were told to wrap the rope around the hanger and tie it to the top of the hanger. We had to make sure that the rope didn't hang down because it could pop the bubbles. With these the do it yourself wand, she sent us home with a recipe to make homemade bubble solution.
Here's that recipe (we doubled ours...this is the orginal recipe not doubled):
6 cups warmish water ( I found that it helps to disolve the soap and corn syrup)
1/2 cup Dish Soap (Dawn Orginal works best, we used orginal Dawn Ultra Concentrated....worked wonderfully)
1/8 cup light corn syrup
Mix very gently and pour slowly into a aluminum turkey roasting pan (or the lide of a large trash can). Avoid agitating soap mixture into foam, so bubbles form easily. This works best on a humid day with no wind.
We used this as a Science Project/Experiment. Edward was so excited about this as soon as his teacher gave us the items for the project. All the way home from Co-op Class I heard "We need to go to the store to get the items to make my bubbles". He enjoyed playing with the bubbles and seeing how big he could get the bubbles. We had a perfect day for doing this project.
