Our wonderful Brisbane City Council Library Service runs an excellent program encouraging young children to read with their Little Stars Reading Club. One of the rewards my Grandson received was a little bubble blowing bottle. He loves his books and he loves blowing bubbles with me. The bubble liquid invariably ends up on the grass but it is so easy to make your own and refill these bottles again and again. So, I urge you to visit your library .. and also ... pop into the backyard and blow some bubbles yourself ! ... it is a magical experience that shouldn't be reserved just for the little ones! Enjoy!

Blowing Bubbles Liquid Mixture - I have posted 2 different quantities
(although I use an eco dishwashing liquid in my kitchen, I find a 'traditional' brand concentrate works better for these bubbles) I use an old medicine cup to measure out.
25 ml Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid
150 ml water
10 ml glycerine (usually in the medical section at supermarket or from your chemist)
Mix the ingredients together gently, I use the handle of a spoon. You don't want froth.
Allow to sit overnight.
Pour into your bubble bottles and blow and blow bubbles!
or
50 ml Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid
300 ml water
20 ml glycerine
same method as above.
Have fun! Cheers. Colleen
