DS and I are looking for a bubble recipe...can anyone help us out?

I don't have a "recipe" but I do remember that watering down dishsoap works good. Not dishwasher detergent but actual dish soap for your sink type thing. Thats all I've got though.. sorry.

It seems like when my mil makes it she uses Dawn dish soap and she also adds glycerine, but I have no idea about the quantities?
I found this, maybe it will help ?

I found a few recipes with Karo/corn syrup. Anyone tried using this instead of glycerin?

Got one from A's preschool class-

2 c. Joy ( Has to be Joy detergerent)
6 c water
3/4 c sugar

Combine all ingredients, shaking solution to blend well. Let settle

I also have a Sidewalk chalk recipe and a Fingerpaint soap recipe if anyone wants me to post it. A's school is always sending home recipes for fun stuff.

oh i am curious too! where does one get glycerin? (well..at least in Central America? ha!)

I would love the recipe for sidewalk chalk and fingerpaint! :)

I would be interested in the fingerpaint soap receipe too!:-D

Me three :)

I think you can buy glycerine at a drug store or grocery store? Not sure though! Sorry Catringa as far as shopping for it in Central America I can't help you out there! But maybe we could send ya some? :)

For "soap powder", do you mean powder detergent?

Yes. Powdered detergent.

Went ahead and edited it above so as not to confuse anyone.

Thanks Sarah! :-D I'll probably be trying the fingerpaintsoap this weekend. Do you know if it's washable if you get stained?

You know I really don't know since my girls wear a paint smock whenever they use anything with ink or paint. I know that food coloring will but with it mixed with soap it may offset the staining properties.
