Bubble Making

We are making the "world's largest bubble" in this family vlog.

Bubble Solution Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon citric acid

1 teaspoon guar gum powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol

1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon dish soap

8 cups boiling water

8 cups cold water

1 large mixing bowl

Mix citric acid, guar gum powder, and baking soda. Add rubbing alcohol to dry ingredients and mix until you have a thick paste. Add 4 cups boiling water to the mix and stir until paste mostly disolves. *Be careful. It’s hot!* Add dish soap and 4 more cups of boiling water. Make sure dry ingredients and soap are dissolved. Carefully add 8 cups of cold water to mixture.

Bubble Wand

Tie or tape a rope in a circle between two wooden dowls.

To Create A Bubble

Dip bubble wand into soapy mixture by holding wooden dowls close together. Pull rope out of soapy mixture and pull dowls apart - you will see bubble solution within the circular rope section. Let air or wind blow into the suspended bubble solution to create a bubble. You may have to walk quickly in one direction to create air that blows into the bubble solution. Have fun!
