An easy and fun activity to do. Everyone, children and adults will love this project on rainy days. It's quick to make, and the final item will be beautiful and fun to play with.
Steps
Step 1. Prepare your "bubble soap"
Mix water and baby shampoo, or any liquid soap, in a large bucket or dish.
Step 2. Dip the straw into the "bubble soap."
" take your straw, or "bubble wand" of your choice, and dip it into "bubble soap". There should now be a film of the solution at the end of the straw. Gently move the straw near the plate.
Step 3. Blow a bubble
Blow a bubble of the size you want, as long as it does not come out of the plate. Do not blow it directly into the pot; blow it just above the ceramic surface.
Step 4. Place the soap bubble on a plate
Gently place the soap bubble on a plate. Your soap bubbles may explode several times before you manage to place them on the plate.
Step 5. Freeze your soap bubble
Put the dish gently in the freezer. Wait between 30 minutes and an hour, checking the bubble every 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 6. Take out the soap bubble
Once your soap bubble has frozen, take the dish out very carefully, being careful not to break it. It will last more or less 10 minutes.
Advice
- Also, try adding a few drops of food coloring to some water, and then sprinkling it on the frozen bubble before putting it back in the freezer. It will take on a very lively look.
- Sprinkle some bubble soap on the plate, so the bubbles don't pop when you touch it.
- After a couple of minutes, you could lightly spray the bubble a few more times before refreezing it to make it slightly firmer and less likely to melt.
- Try blowing multiple bubbles on the plate together to create a work of art!
- Try putting the dish in the sink, and blowing the bubbles directly into the sink. This way the soap bubbles will end up directly on the plate.
Warnings
- Soap bubbles may irritate your eyes, so wash them carefully.
- If you close the freezer door too hard, the soap bubble may burst when it beats.
- Younger children may want to lick or even eat them, so be careful when playing with them.
