Environment Outdoor

Dipping large wands or loops into bubble solution and sweeping them through the air to blow oversized soap bubbles — a mesmerizing outdoor activity for kids and adults alike.

The Essentials

  • Mix distilled water with a mild dish soap and a spoonful of glycerin or cornstarch, since tap water minerals and additive-heavy soaps make bubbles pop faster.
  • Let the solution rest for a few hours or overnight before using it, since aged soap mixtures form stronger, longer-lasting bubbles.
  • Choose a calm, overcast day rather than windy or blazing sun, since both wind and heat evaporate the thin soap film quickly.
  • Wet your hands or wands before dipping, so the bubble film doesn't stick and pop against dry skin or fabric.
  • Pull the wand slowly and steadily rather than whipping it through the air, since a smooth motion produces bigger, more stable bubbles.
  • Practice on grass rather than pavement, since a soft landing surface lets bubbles bounce briefly instead of bursting on contact.
