BUBBLES




Bubbles

If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to create some fun with the kids…look no further than a 25 cents bottle of bubbles (that’s when it’s on sale). Of course you could even make your own. Bubble recipe:
1 cup water
2 tablespoons light karo syrup (this makes bubbles last longer/stronger)
4 tablespoons dishwashing liquid such as Joy or Dawn
Take straws, tea strainers, or egg dying holding and dip into bubble solution. Blow bubbles into the air—store in an airtight container—they get better the longer they stay.
My girls love playing with bubbles. We started playing games…who’s bubble can last the longest, who can blow the biggest bubble, who can blow the smallest bubble, who can catch the most bubbles etc.
Sometimes the most simple of things create the most fun. They also make great party favors. During one summer clearance sale I was able to buy a bottle of bubbles for 5 cents. I stocked up on about 20 and then I removed the label and created my own. It was a thank you favor for Pauline’s pink party. Imagine…party favors for the entire crowd—costing 1 dollar. You can’t go wrong with that.


What’s your favorite inexpensive crowd pleaser? Would love to hear from you.
