Bouncing Bubbles

This entire week my son has asked to play with bubbles after dinner.  The sun is lower, the weather is cool at that time, and there has been a nice breeze.  We have spent up to an hour making large bubbles and running around popping them.  I will always remember an experience I had with my Pre-K students years ago.  I found some unpoppable bubbles back then and we played with them in the classroom.  I remember their little fingers and heads being covered in bubbles.  The children LOVED them and I have always wanted to give that same experience to my son.  They still sell these bubbles, but they come in a TINY tube and they didn't work as well as I remember.  So.........in my quest to create some interesting bubble fun, I found a BOUNCY BUBBLE recipe (at Steve Spangler).  My son and I made it last night because it has to "age" for 24 hours.  I have to admit, it was a huge bust with him - LOL.  He had absolutely NO interest in it.  It was so cool, however, that I wanted to share it with all of you (so I lured in my other child....er....um....I mean, husband).  ;)

Thing you need:

• 1 C distilled drinking water
• 1 Tablespoon dish soap
• 1 Teaspoon of glycerin (I ordered mine online)
• straw (this is just what I chose to blow the bubbles with, Im assuming you can use a typical bubble wand)
• 1 clean glove (or sock) - (this is to keep the bubble from popping)

MIX ALL INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND LET SIT FOR 24 HOURS

 You can catch the bubbles
