Blow Bouncing Bubbles

This is a great activity that will keep kids busy for hours! These bubbles are especially fun because they bounce!

What you’ll need:

  • 4 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of dish soap
  • Winter gloves
  • Bubble wands

How to make it:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a shallow dish or cookie sheet. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Now you’re ready to blow bubbles with your bubble wands! It’s that easy! Put the bubble wand in the solution, then take it out and gently blow to create bubbles!
  3. To make the bubbles bounce you need to have gloves on. The gloves are necessary so the bubbles don’t come in contact with the oil on your hands which will make them pop. Blow the bubbles gently and let them softly bounce on your hand with gloves on.  It may be tricky if it’s windy outside but this is an activity you can do inside as well!

If you don’t have bubble wands, you can make your own!

What you’ll need:

  • String
  • 2 straws

How to make it:

  1. Cut a piece of string about 3 feet long.
  2. Thread 2 straws onto the string and tie the ends of the string together to make a loop.
  3. Pull the straws to each side to make a rectangle.
  4. Now you’re ready to blow bubbles with your new bubble wand!
