I mean, bubbies. That is too cute. And yes Becky, practice makes perfect. We had a heck of a time our first go-round (I didn't show all the photos of us failing to make a bubble), but last night was already much easier.<br /><br />As to the recipe, we used:<br />2 1/2 cups water<br />1/4 cup of dish soap<br />1 tablespoon glycerin<br /><br />The glycerin apparently helps the bubbles last longer in the air. We purchased it a the pharmacy. <br /><br />The recipe on the bubble wand said to use Joy dish soap specifically. We did a quick google search and many recipes suggested Joy. We wondered if there was some special reason for this, but opted to try it with our eco-friendly brand. It worked just fine (as photos show). Last night Matt came home with a bottle of Palm Olive from the dollar store and we tried the recipe with that. (He is like a pseudo-scientist and wouldn't be satisfied until he could do a comparison) It worked fine too, but I do think the ecosoap worked better. Plus, the Palm Olive had a strong fragrance that stunk up the whole back yard! It made me sneeze. So, I guess the moral of the story is use whatever dish soap you've got.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-81594805432705312292011-06-14T19:50:10.961-06:002011-06-14T19:50:10.961-06:00Looks like so much fun!
