A Little Bit About Soap Bubbles…

• Although the bubble recipe that I use in my bubble show has taken several years to perfect and is a trade secret, you can easily make your own bubbles juice by following this simple recipe; 7 parts water, 3 parts Morning Fresh Original detergent, 1 part glycerine (from your chemist). Gently mix together in a clean container and leave overnight.
• The enemy of soap bubbles is hot dry air, they don’t like it. Humid days are good and rainy days are great. Rain will not pop soap bubbles so get a bubble mixture together, some coats on and head off into the back garden and get the kids blowing bubbles, this is the best fun kids can have.
• Bubbles are actually all around us, in soda drinks, in our blood, in balls and balloons, in running water, coming out of a gold fish’s mouth, in clouds, floating on the ocean. Keep a look out for them.
• I think the fascination with soap bubbles is they are so beautiful, with amazing colours including shades of gold, amazing deep blues and all the colours of a rainbow, but, they only last a short period of time, in my opinion, not enough time, so when one bubble bursts I want to make another so I can continue to look at its shape and colour as it drifts dreamily into the air until it is out of sight.
• A soap bubble is, after all, just a pocket of air, trapped by a thin elastic mixture of mainly soap and water. Did you know that if your hands are wet, you can catch a bubble on your hand and if it has been raining, bubbles will land on wet surfaces without popping, well at least for a short time. I got a giant bubble to land on the road outside my house…I was shocked to see it sitting there as cars drove past..even got a photo of it.
• One thing I have noticed when blowing a bubble on a cold day, they float a lot higher due to my warm breath. We all know hot air rises and having a warm bubble will cause it to float up through the cold air – interesting. Try blowing bubbles on hot and cold days and see for yourself.
• Have fun trying different items to make beautiful bubbles, a paper clip, a straw, a wire coat hanger, a cookie cutter, a cardboard toilet tube, a bracelet, a necklace. All these items will make bubbles big and small, take a look around you, use your imagination and see what else you can use…a fish slice…yes there are so many items you can use and I use some in my bubble show.
