Last year I did something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: the kids and I made homemade bubbles! When I first made up the batch, I didn’t realize that the bubbles had to sit overnight. So when the kids tried to use them with the bubble wands, they didn’t work very well.
However, the next morning we found out that they were indeed not just good bubbles but GREAT bubbles.
Ever since, every time we make these, they don’t last very long!
The recipe we used is pretty simple. I always double the recipe and put it in a jar that you would normally use for lemonade or iced tea so the kids can get their own bubbles easily.
HOMEMADE BUBBLES
Mix water and corn syrup until completely blended.
Slowly stir in soap.
Let sit overnight for best results.
A word to the wise: Be sure the lid is on tight if you attempt to pick up the full container of bubbles, lest you wind up with a soapy mess!
Yesterday I did a guest post for my friend Michael over at An Old and Cranky Gamer, but it wound up being sandwiched between these two previously scheduled posts. So if you missed it and would like some advice on how to relate to a female geek, click here to read my post.
