BUBBLE SOLUTION RECIPE
Many parents asked at the conclusion of Science Night for the recipe for our secret bubble solution. So, here is the secret recipe. Use it freely for some Summer-time fun!
From the LHS GEMS Bubble Festival publication
- 1 gallon of water
- 1 cup of Dawn or Joy dish-washing liquid
- 1/8 cup of glycerin
- Mix and enjoy!
If you are wondering about how much solution was in the kiddie-pool, we used 4 gallons of solution for the body bubbles.
Look at that Bubble!!
