About Blowing the Best Bubbles Activity
Have you ever questioned what creates a bubble? The secret to making bubbles is surface tension. Adding soap to water changes the surface tension of that water, and this generates a great solution to form bubbles. Exploring how to make bubbles and forming these bubbles is a fabulous activity for kids. It’s excellent to improve their understanding of early scientific processes such as planning, investigation, and observation. This super-easy homemade bubble recipe and bubble experiment are a great way to introduce your kids to parts of the scientific method in a fun, significant way at home or in the classroom.
Supplies Required Blowing the Best Bubbles Activity
- 6 cups room temperature water
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup dish soap

Before you start, inform your children that they require to blow OUT and not suck IN, or they’ll end up with a mouthful of foamy water. You can have your children practice this first, if need be, by blowing through the straw to move a tissue or pompom across the floor or tabletop. Of course, if you think your child is too small to understand the concept of blowing out through the straw, this activity is best left until he or she is a little older. Now that everyone’s clear on the blowing process, have ’em stick those straws in their bowls, and BLOW!
