HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• 1 gallon water
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1-1/4 cups liquid dishwashing detergent (not for dishwashers)
• One large plastic container
• "Found" bubble makers (see below)

LET'S GET STARTED:

Blowing and chasing bubbles is great entertainment for all ages. Here is a big recipe for spectacular bubbles whether you blow them or wave your bubble maker like a wand.

Gently stir all ingredients together in a big plastic container. Then be detectives and hunt for clever, unbreakable items that will make super bubbles. To get you started try plastic six-pack beverage holders, biscuit cutters, paper cups, plastic coat hangers, straws, and funnels.

Dip your bubble makers into the brew and either blow through them or wave them in the air. If you want to save your bubble brew for another time, cover the plastic container with a tight fitting lid and store for a week or two.
