Summer calls for lots of outdoor fun! If you’re on the lookout for outside activities, try making these gigantic bubbles! This activity is sure to be loads of fun for you and your friends!
*Be sure to ask an adult for help to make the bubble wand and mixture.
You’ll need:
String
2 wooden dowels
Eye bolts
Drill
Washers
2 cups dish soap
4 tbsp glycerin
2 tbsp baking powder or corn starch
Wide bucket
Water
What to do:
Note: Make sure an adult helps with this part of the activity! Drill a hole into one end of each dowel and screw in the eye bolts. Cut two different lengths of string (about two metres and one metre long). Feed the short string through the eye bolts and tie them tight. Then take the long string and add a washer to weigh it down. Then tie that string to the eye bolts as well. Tie a tiny knot where the washer hangs so it doesn’t get knotted.
For the bubble solution, mix the dish soap, baking powder or corn starch, and glycerin in your bucket. Add lukewarm water and stir.
Bubble time! Dip the wand into the mixture (make sure the entire string gets covered) and gently pull it out. Move your wand through the air to create giant bubbles. Yay!
This is a great way to spend time outdoors on a sunny day! If you try this fun activity out, let us know in the comments below how it went.
Did you know about 70 percent of the Earth is covered in water, and only three percent of which is freshwater? World Water Week is dedicated to bringing awareness to global water issues and creating a sustainable approach to using the water we have. A little difference can go a long way! If you want to help in your day-to-day routine, try out these water conserving tips below!
Turn off the taps when they’re not in use. When you’re brushing your teeth or washing your face, make sure to turn the faucet off!
Don’t shower for too long. Get yourself clean as quickly as you can to save water.
Use old water from pots (after boiling spaghetti or eggs) to water your plants. Reusing this water instead of pouring it down the drain will save you from turning on the hose.
Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl of water instead of under the faucet.
Carry a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go! This way you’ll save on having to buy water and you won’t be throwing the plastic bottle into a landfill.
