Step 2. Gently stir dishwashing liquid and water until combined. To make the best bubbles make sure to stir the mixture slowly (this can be hard for younger kids to do).

You will know if you are stirring too fast because small bubbles will appear on the surface. For me, half the fun is letting the kids make the bubbles before they use them. If you want some good-quality bubbles, you might want to take over the stirring process.

Step 3. Now it’s time to add the cornstarch to the mixture. Then stir gently until fully it’s fully dissolved.

Step 4. The longer you let your homemade solution sit, the bigger the bubbles turn out. However, we tend to use this homemade bubble recipe right away, and we still get some pretty big bubbles.

Step 5. Now it’s time to make some bubbles. We like making different shape DIY bubble wands out of pipe cleaners. Or, if you have other bubble tools, that works too.

Once you have your bubble wands, start blowing bubbles!
