Its Bubble Season

I found this video last fall and decided to wait until bubble season to post it. It was a popular video so I am sure many of you have see it already but I wanted to post it for those that haven't. It is a simple way to make bubbles and the joy of watching the kids eyes open wide in amazement is rewarding. Please, sit back, put it on full screen if you can and enjoy.

wow, I have seen some MONSTER bubbles before.. but never like this.. I cant help but wonder what kind of "bubble mix" they are using to keep these bad boys floating with out breaking.. Or dropping from being too heavy!

lol I can't wait to figure out the ratio. I have tried simple dish soap and water and it works to a point but straight dish soap doesn't very well. I am now experimenting with laundry detergent.

I'm looking for something that creates alot of bubbles for my cats.

I've tried miracle bubbles and there is nothing miraculous there --I mean notta, zilch, zip and zero! Thinking the 1st bottle was defective I bought another and the 2nd bottle was just the same. Mostly 1 - 3 bubbles.

So, any suggestions where I can get some great bubbles like when we were little?

I found that a string hoop and two sticks like that guy uses in the video works better than wire hangers but I may not have had the ratio down either. Let me know how it goes, would you?

They do make automatic bubble blowers. I got one for the kids when I was tired of blowing lol. It sounds funny but it was a Disneys Arial(Little Mermaid) but you put the solution in the reservoir and the wand goes up and down alternating from the blower to the solution and creates lots of bubbles on batteries. Maybe you could find a similar one where Summer toys are sold.

I just found this looking for good bubble making ingredients. CHECK THIS OUT! WAY cool!!

Those are some awesome Ideas. I really want to try the dry ice one. I think that would be a lot of fun and educational for both myself and the kids. Thanks for posting them.
