What could be better on the first day of the school holidays than to still be in our pyjamas at 10am?
The kids are currently out in the back yard blowing bubbles.
DIY BUBBLE MIXTURE
3 parts dishwashing liquid
(Morning Fresh works well)
7 parts hot water
1 part glycerine
Stir thoroughly.
(without making it too frothy)
N.B. - You may need to experiment a little bit with the amount of detergent.
- It works better if you make it the day before or even a week before!
– Glycerine can be found at the supermarket (in the medicine section).
Tips:
- Apparently bubbles don’t like dry weather so they work better at night, in the shade or in rainy weather.
- You don’t need store bought bubble wands, use things from your kitchen drawers, twist some pipecleaners or a coathanger.
I have 3 buckets (from the kids sandpit) permanently sitting on our back windowsill.
One filled with bubble wands & a bottle of mixture.
One filled with sidewalk chalk.
One filled with old paint brushes for ‘water painting’ on hot days.
Great fun. I love easy relaxed days in pj's. So many great kids ideas Emma! They just keep on coming.
Some good tips here. I haven't been successful with DIY bubble solution so I'm going to give it another go.
Sounds just like my mum's recipe too!! School holidays already, we have one more week, love Posie
bubbles are always fun, my little one can't always get the hang of it but he has fun trying!<br />enjoy the day ♥
Who doesn't love bubbles – especially when you are still in your pjs! We are looking forward to many pj days next week.
Thanks for yet another helpful hint. Love the bubbles. Never made them myself though.
