Keyword bubbles, glycerin, kids outdoor play, summer activities
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 6 cups
Water, dish soap, glycerin and corn syrup mixed in a half-gallon jar for strong, long-lasting bubbles.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 Half-Gallon Mason Jar or other large container
  • 4 cups water (warm water works best)
  • 1 cup dish soap
  • 3 Tablespoons glycerin
  • ¼ cup corn syrup or sugar

Directions

  • Pour the water, soap, glycerin, and corn syrup or sugar into a half-gallon Mason jar.
  • Stir slowly and gently, because hard stirring makes thick foam.
  • Cover the jar and leave it overnight before using.
  • To use, pour some into baking pans (handy for toddlers, who would empty a bottle fast).

Notes

Equal parts corn syrup can replace the glycerin.
Safety: NOT edible. Supervise little ones so they don't drink it, and rinse eyes with water if splashed. Wet soap makes patios and decks slippery. A glass jar can break; a plastic jug is safer around small kids.
