When my children were little I would always be sending them outside in the spring time with bubble liquid and bubble makers. It would keep them busy for a little while but I knew if I didn't keep my eye on them then they would take the bubble liquid and start making experiments in the sand box. Years latter I bought the Bubble Book and Bubble Thing
which is a giant bubble maker that I still bring out when ever we have a house full of teenagers in the summer. (Teenagers, like small children, need something to keep themselves occupied or else they will get into trouble).
Our family loves this bubble maker and we have given it as a gift to several children over the years (we also make up some bubble liquid for them so they can try it right away).
While the mix I made for the children when they were small was just dish soap and water I latter found that there is a whole science to making wonderfully large bubbles and the secret to it is adding glycerin to the mix. Glycerin can be bought at cake decorating supply store and pharmacies. The recipe I use is
1/2 cup Ivory Dish soap
6 cups Water
1-1/2 Tablespoons of Glycerin
I do find I have to fiddle with the recipe sometimes and add more water. Supposedly on very humid days you make the best bubbles and won't need as much glycerin but might have to add more water. I am no expert but for someone who is visit Bubblemania for more bubble recipes and ideas.
