Bubbling is one of the simpler and more fun summer activities. They bring joy not only to children, but also to adults. Soap bubbles can be purchased not only in the store, but also made by hand at home.
Some tips for making soap bubbles
Water for making bubbles is taken boiled, filtered or distilled. Tap water should be discarded as it contains chlorine and impurities.
Soap, dishwashing detergent and powder are taken without additives or dyes.
Use glycerin and sugar to make the bubbles stronger. But an overabundance of these substances can lead to high density and difficulty inflating bubbles.
For young children, it is better to prepare a less dense solution. Bubbles will burst faster, but inflate easier.
Bubbles of different colors are obtained by adding food coloring to the soap solution.
After preparation, the solution is kept in a refrigerator for 1-3 days.
The surface of the mortar must be free of bubbles and foam.
In windy weather, blowing bubbles will not be easy, and high humidity, on the contrary, contributes to strong and durable bubbles.
Do not rush to quickly inflate bubbles, it is better to do it slowly.
