How To Make Giant Bubbles, Just In Time For Summer

Summer break means more time spent with the entire family, but it sure puts the pressure on parents, grandparents, and babysitters. We need simple, fun, and kid-friendly activities, and we need them now! Thankfully, What's Up Moms — the ladies behind brilliant life hacks like this lip balm trick — is back with a new DIY project that's absolutely perfect for playtime under the hot, summer sun. What kid wouldn't love making giant bubbles?! These bubbles are easy-to-make, and the recipe creates the most impressive bubbles you've ever seen. This. Looks. Like. So. Much. Fun. Here's what you'll need:

  • Dawn Liquid Dish Soap 8oz
  • Guar Gum 1Tbsp
  • Baking Powder 1Tbsp
  • Water 16 cups
  • Cotton String or Rope
  • 2 Sticks
  • Washer

Here are some helpful tips:

  • The bubble solution will last for a couple weeks if you keep it covered.
  • You can make any amount of solution as long as the water to soap ratio is 16:1.
  • Her wand used 85″ of string, but you can make yours longer for even bigger bubbles.

I don’t know about you, but I seriously cannot wait to do this with my niece and nephew this summer. I’ll be the coolest aunt on the block! Please SHARE this awesome DIY project with your friends on Facebook, and have fun!
