Bubble mix
Recipe #1
1 cup water
2 tablespoons of detergent
1 tablespoon of glycerine

Recipe #2
3 cups water
2 cups Joy liquid dish soap (Or similar)
½ cup Karo syrup (or similar)

For best results, let these mixtures sit over night.
To use, put in a large rather flat pan such as a pie pan.
Use what you can for a "wand." A plastic flyswatter will make an interesting one with lots of tiny bubbles.
Bent wire or anything that can be made into a wand like you get in the store bought stuff.
