I remember as a kid we used some kind of rope and filled our kiddie pool with soapy water and made big bubbles. We only did it once but I’ll never forget it. I never paid attention to how it was actually done and didn’t realize there are recipes for making those large bubbles. Part of our summer bucket list was to make big bubbles and so we found a recipe and went to work.
1 cup Joy dish soap
1 cup corn starch
12 cups of water
2T baking powder
Mix together and let sit for at least one hour.
Now we made the above recipe but we weren’t creating the dreamy big bubbles we had been hoping for so we added 1 cup of corn syrup. I’m not sure if it helped but it’s worth trying if your bubbles are holding together.
We poured it in a tin bucket and used rope we had tied into circles. We also strung two straws onto string and made a circle. Kind of like making handles for little hands. That one seemed to be a big hit and made strong medium bubbles.
I’m not sure if the kids or the adults had more fun!

Blessings!
