BUBBLE RECIPE


2 c. Joy dishwashing detergent

6 c. water

3/4 c. white Karo corn syrup

Combine, shake, let settle 4 hours. Store, covered in refrigerator to extend suds shelf life. Allow to warm before using. Use Joy! Costs about $1.50 per gallon. Non-toxic but not for human consumption.BUBBLING TIPS:

1. Do not stir wand in suds to avoid foaming. 2. If foam develops, scrape off with stiff card. 3. Keep suds clean, avoid dirt, grass, bugs, etc. 4. Rotate play area around yard to avoid damage to plants. 5. 9"x13" cake pan works well. 6. Bubbles are best on humid days. 7. In cold weather, if suds feel cold, use electric fry pan on warm setting. 8. Bubble in sheltered areas on windy days. 9. Joy and Karo work best. Other brands don't work as well. 10. Protect suds from direct sun, sun weakens suds. 11. As with other similar products, if bubbles get in eyes, wash thoroughly with water. 12. Soap is an eye irritant. Use common sense.
