Different Bubbles

Children love blowing bubbles and on a windy day they are even more fun as everyone tries to catch them. However, many common household items can also be used to make bubbles. See below for ideas.

What You Need:

- Detergent
- Water
- A little glycerine or cooking oil to make the bubbles stronger
- A variety of potential bubble makers such as straws, funnels, plastic spools, wire and pipecleaners
- Clear plastic

What To Do:

It's fun to make bubbles with commercial bubble makers, but it is even more interesting to make them with a variety of things we all have around the house.

Let the children help you make up the bubble mixture and enjoy some time playing with any commercial bubble makers you may have.

Now give them a variety of materials as listed above and challenge them to use these items to make great bubbles.

Don't forget to have the camera handy to record some of the beautiful bubbles they will make.
