Bubbles are enjoyed by everyone for their wonder, beauty and sense of magic. Tiny babies are mesmerized and even big kids love to play and pop bubbles! Here's a simple recipe that you can make at home and add your favorite oils to make them not only fun but smell like a dream! -Katie Weber

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup dish soap - unscented or thieves dish soap

1 Tbsp. liquid glycerin

15–20 drops your favorite essential oil

8 oz. plastic bottle or several 4 oz. or 2 oz. plastic bottles

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small bowl or cup, mix together essential oil and the unscented dish soap. Let sit for a few minutes.

  2. Add liquid glycerin, and mix together.

  3. Add the soap and essential oil mixture to the water in a mixing bowl.

  4. Stir the mixture until everything is blended together (do not whisk or stir rapidly, or you’ll end up making a lot of froth).

  5. Pour mixture into an 8 oz. plastic bottle or into several smaller bottles.

  6. Allow mixture to sit for 12–24 hours.

  7. To use the mixture, use standard bubble wands dipped into the bottles; or pour the mixture into a shallow bowl or pan, and use different shaped cookie cutters, pipe cleaners formed into loops, straws, or anything else you desire to blow the bubbles with.

  8. You could also make a large version of this for huge bubbles.

*This is the perfect spring craft for getting outside or a fun waterless bath tub activity! Great for keeping littles contained and then you can just rinse and repeat! Enjoy and have fun! *
