Ideas and case studies

• How you stir the mixture is important. Stir slowly, and our sources suggest mixing and adding ingredients at a steady rate.
• Don't leave the washing up liquid bottle in sight of the children - you'll get bubbles everywhere!
• If you don't get a decent bubble film, add a bit more Fairy Liquid and see what happens
• For blowing bubbles, a humid, warm day is best - try just before or just after rain, or even in fog or mist!
  

• Try making bubble creatures, by sticking bubbles together. You can do this more easily by giving the children a small tray of bubble mix and letting them experiment by blowing bubbles in the tray.
• Try making bubble prints. It's a bit messy, but when you make your bubble mix, add some powder paints (tempera powder). Put the mix in a deep tray or washing up bowl and use a straw to blow bubbles in the mixture. Put paper on the top to take a print of the bubbles.
