Bubbles

1 C water

2 T Karo syrup

4 T Dishwashing liquid

Notes and Comments:

  • If bubbles pop easily or solution does not work well, add more water.
  • Dawn and Joy seem to be the best choices for bubbles. It is the antigrease agent.
  • Bubbles work best on an overcast day.
  • Bubbles love moisture so right after a rain also works well.
  • To catch a bubble just get your hand wet.
