It has been raining all morning and God knows we need it. I am not complaining. I love when it rains. I am just happy that we got outside and did activities yesterday and did not waste the day with laziness. Because that is what we are doing today.
Rain = Lazy, no bra, don't wanna go anywhere, snuggle and watch a movie-kind-of-day!
So back to yesterday. We went outside and . . .
We had fun making bubbles! Big bubbles!
I had come across a recipe that called for massive amounts of corn syrup, dish soap and some water.
It said, "For Industrial Sized Bubbles".
I am not ready for that. So we toned it down a bit and went for
a smaller version of bubble.
Then with all the tubs of sudsy soap water that had been over-turned (by a toddler who will remain unnamed) we gave the porch a washing. Might as well do some cleaning and playing.
We couldn't keep the soapy solution in the tub for more than 3 minutes tops before he turned them over. We managed none-the-less to get some good bubbles out of the batch.
Next time we will make a giant tub of the mixture that is a little less easy to dump out. Oh and buy more wands. We need one for each hand. I LOVE BUBBLES! I have recently found that our dog loves bubbles too. She chases them around the backyard, trying to catch them in her mouth. It is really fun to watch a toddler and a dog chase bubbles. The little things that make a momma's heart happy!
I got the awesome little bubble making wand at the dollar store for, you guessed it, a Dollar!
I used this recipe to make the bubbles.
RECIPE
1c. water
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
3 tbsp. dish soap
Mix all three ingredients in measuring cup and stir until completely mixed.
Bam! It is that easy.
You can adjust the recipe according to your preferences. I guess it could never hurt to use a little more syrup or soap depending on how big you want the bubbles to be. Have fun experimenting!
I have not looked into the benefits of the corn syrup in this recipe, but I assume it helps to make them bigger and to keep their elasticity. I just saw the other recipe and wanted to try it out.
So I did. I enjoyed it and I plan to do it again.
Enjoy friends! Blessings to all.
