🛒 Materials needed

• Water
• Dish soap (Dawn or similar works best)

• Large wands or thick rope
• A wide, shallow container

🛒 Vegetable glycerin
🛒 Giant bubble solution kit
🛒 Giant bubble wands

🏠 Home alternatives

Don't have all the materials? No problem.

• Instead of a wand → wrap yarn around two sticks to form a loop, one large and one small.
• Instead of glycerin → use extra dish soap. Bubbles won't last as long but still work great.
• Instead of a wide container → use a baking tray or the lid of a large container.

📋 Step-by-step instructions

1. Mix 6 cups of water, 1 cup of dish soap and ½ cup of glycerin in the container.
2. Let the mixture rest for at least 1 hour (overnight is ideal).
3. Dip the wand or rope into the mix.
4. Lift slowly and blow gently to form the giant bubble.
5. Experiment with different wand sizes and blowing speeds.

💡 Extra ideas

• Try catching the bubble with wet gloves without popping it.
• Add food coloring to the mix to make colored bubbles.
• Have a contest to see who can make the biggest bubble.
