I don’t know about you bu I have spent a fortune on bubble mixture and bubble machines over the years. My kids are bubble crazy, so crazy that I regularly have to hide the bubbles!!!! Anyway, recently I said enough is enough and I am not buying bubble mixtures anymore, especially as they invariably get spilled within minutes of the fun starting! So, I went hunting in my favourite hang out – Pinterest and set about trying out the various recipes pinned and wow, some were absolutely amazing!!!
Our Top 5 Recipes:
1. Giant Bubbles from Busy Kids Happy Mom – these are amazing, really great fun!
2. Easy Homemade Bubbles Recipe from La Jolla Mom – 2 things about this recipe – 1) I love how they are presented in the dispenser and 2) I never thought of microwaving the cornflour and water first – actually makes a difference!!!
3. Bouncing Bubbles by Play At Home Mom LLC – The trick here is to leave the mixture overnight and then to wear gloves so that the bubbles don’t burst!
4. Simple & Fun Bubble Recipe from Red Ted Art – straight forward, easy to make and super fun!
5. Rainbow Bubble Snakes from Housing A Forest – these are super cool and I love the snakes that are created by blowing through the bottle and a sock – this is really worth trying!
3 things I have learned:
- Add glycerine
- Use fairly good quality washing up liquid
- Add cornflour/cornstarch!!!!!!
Have lots of bubble fun!

Where do you get glycerin? I’ve never seen it. Is it common to find it nestled between the castor sugar and the pine nuts at the grocery shop?

Hi there, I usually find it with baking goods, with food colouring, flavourings and essences, it usually comes in the same type if small bottle as those.
