How to Make Homemade Bubbles

For the bubble mixture, mix the dish soap, glycerin, and water together, then set it aside.

Homemade Bubble Wands Kids Can Make

Take the end of a piece of wire and form a circle about 3 inches in diameter. Twist the end to close the circle. Next, pull the other end straight down for the handle, make this as long as you would like, and snip off the end.

Have your children string the beads on the wire handle (make words, designs, whatever they want). After they are finished their design, twist the end of the wire to secure the beads and snip off any extra wire.

Dip the bubble wand into the soap mixture and blow to make big bubbles.
