ingredients for your bubble solution:

4 cups of warm water

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid

wondering why we add sugar?

Sugar helps you make bigger bubbles that last longer.

Bubbles are made up of three very thin layers: soap, water, soap. All together this is called soap film. When the inner water layer evaporates, the bubble pops. By adding sugar, the soap film is thicker and delays the eventual evaporation.
