Have you ever blown bubbles in the Winter? Such a fun activity to do outdoors with the kids when the temperatures are below the freezing mark! The recipe for Winter bubbles is a bit different than the traditional store-bought version for Summer – and the best part – you can make it from ingredients you probably already have in the house!
Winter Bubble Recipe:
- 1 cup of warm water
- 3 tbsp dish soap
- 2 tbsp corn syrup
Adding glycerin (corn syrup/sugar) is important to the Winter bubble recipe because it makes the soap thicker, which means the water in the bubbles won’t evaporate as quickly and you will have stronger bubbles – perfect for lasting longer the cold weather.
Tip: Use a straw (bigger straws work better, we like these silicone ones) – dip the end of it in the bubble solution and gently blow to make the perfect Winter bubbles.
If you can keep the bubble for more than a few seconds, watch the outside of it solidify in the cold! You can even see snowflake-like ice slowly forming and growing as it freezes.
Adjust recipe as you see fit – consistency may change depending on the brand of dish soap used. Bundle up and have fun!
