Make Giant bubbles the size of a kiddie pool.
I have always wanted to try these giant kiddie pool bubbles, and this summer we finally did it! If you have never tried it, you must! It is such a blast!
What you need to make giant bubbles in a kiddie pool:
-a hard plastic kiddie pool
-a hula hoop
-the perfect bubble solution
For the Bubble Solution you need:
– 5 Gallons of Water
– 10 Cups of Dawn dish soap (regular not antibacterial)
Helpful tips to make giant bubbles:
– Let this solution sit overnight in the kiddie pool…for some reason this helps.
– The less foam you make, the better your bubbles will be. Too much foam is the enemy to giant bubbles. Try to keep the splashing to a minimal.
-an overcast sort of cloudy day is optimal for these bubbles.
Don’t forget the bubble beards. 🙂
This might be the funnest you will have in your backyard all summer!
Don’t forget to crank your favorite summer soundtrack to add to the fun!

-host a fun water party Fruit Ninja style
–make cork boats and race them!

I wish you had been here yesterday.
We did big bubbles, but nothing like that and we had a little trouble with the wind. GREAT BUBBLES!!

What little kid doesn’t love bubbles? Who am I kidding. I still love bubbles!
I gotta make these giant bubbles with my little boy.

This is the easiest recipe. 2 questions, ? How far in advance can I prepare. Some recipes call for 24hrs in advance… I was wondering if it can be done 2 days in advance.
? Did you try adding glycerine at all and what would it do if added. p.s. I found some 2.5 gallon water dispensers from store that will hold the additional 5 cups each of Dawn to have 2 even batches to be stored in advance.

Sure you could make the mixture ahead of time!

I found answer to why adding glycerine will make stronger longer lasting bubbles formed.

Does this recipe work with generic brands of dishwashing liquid or just Dawn? Can’t wait to try this out! 🙂
Kami says
It’s worth a try! We had success with Dawn, but try and let us know! I’ve also heard that they work better on overcast days too.
