The kids thought these were great because it was an excuse to get messy and soapy at the same time. For small bubbles, this was wonderful. For larger bubbles we had some trouble. Maybe it was our pathetic attempts at making BIG bubble wands.

I'm sorry but I was not happy with this. We followed instructions exactly. It was ok for small bubbles, but we weren't able to make large bubbles at all. Ok, so I made up a new solution thinking perhaps we had goofed up on something. Still very poor results. Even tried letting it sit for a couple of hours to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.

This is the recipe to use if you want to make gigantic longlasting bubbles. I've always added a bit of glycerin to our bubble solution, but the big bubbles would always pop. With this solution, we could even use our biggest fairy wands and wrap enormous bubble trails around us. Here's the best part...we got sidetracked playing in the sandbox for a while and when we returned to the bubble solution, it was even better! After an hour or two in the open, the bubbles we made were industrial strength, unpoppable creations. We could even stack them together and make bubble sculptures. Thank you for posting this!

Terrific bubbles!! We bent a coat hanger into a circle and used it to make our giant bubbles. It entertained two 6 year olds, one puppy, and one husband for hours! Perfect!! Thanks Mirj!
