Homemade Bubbles with Glycerin

Last summer we made bubbles using Dawn dish liquid and corn syrup. This summer we thought we would try a new recipe using glycerin.

You will need:
water
liquid dish soap
glycerin
granulated white sugar

We quadrupled this recipe.....

1 cup water
2 Tablespoons liquid dish soap (we used unconcentrated Dawn)
1 Tablespoon glycerin (we found ours with the first aid supplies at our local drug store)
1 teaspoon granulated white sugar

Then we placed in an empty milk container with a screw on lid.

Blowing bubbles is great for oral motor development and popping uses both gross motor and fine motor coordination.

These bubbles had staying power! Great for our arid climate.
