Gigantic Bubbles

Materials Needed: 

Wire coat hanger or pipe cleaners,
 pan,
 dishwashing soap
 corn syrup.

Directions: 

  1. Bubble Mixture - Combine six cups of water, two cups of dishwashing liquid, three-quarters cups of corn syrup (This gives the bubbles added strength) 
  2. You an half this recipe for smaller groups.) 
  3. Make the bubbles four hours in advance of playtime,
  4.  pour into a shallow pan.

To Make the Wands 

  1. reshape wire coat hangers to an oval, circle, heart, etc. Leave the handle as is.
  2.  You can also make smaller shape wands from pipe

    cleaners, such as stars. The pipe cleaner wands are better for small

    children to use, and are easier for indoor use. For outdoor use the coat hanger is great. 

 

Make sure if you are you doing this with little children, the adult should hold the wire hanger and dip into the pan (or even a child's swimming pool would work great for the bigger bubbles,) and have the children chase the bubbles.
