DIY Soap Bubbles

And this is the recipe I tested:

Crazy Deluxe Bubbles Recipe
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons liquid dish or laundry detergent
1 tablespoon glycerin
1 teaspoon white sugar

'How to make bubbles: Gently stir all ingredients together and store in a airtight container. These bubbles have staying power! Given the right conditions you might lose sight of your bubbles before they pop!'

A last minute change of course mid-morning yesterday meant we had an entire afternoon to do something fun other than swabbing the deck (again???!!), knot tying (BO-ring!) and scrimshaw (been there, done that).  We made soap bubbles followed by a raucous duel with squirt guns!


Cost: we spent $2.00 for a 32 ounce bottle of soap bubbles and a bubble play set. I bought a "just in case" bottle of bubbles at Dollar Tree if the recipe above didn't work out. 

Effects:
