This summer you can have lots of fun with bubbles! I love creating themed days for the kids to enjoy during long summer days. This theme centers around bubbles! First, we head outdoors to play with giant bubbles. Then, we head inside for a snack and a rest time while we watch TELETUBBIES: BUBBLES on DVD. I’ll show you how you can create a bubble themed day too! Plus scroll to the end to print the giant bubble recipe!

To make your solution for your giant bubbles you’ll need to follow the giant bubble recipe. This recipe is very forgiving and doesn’t need to be exact. Print it off below!

 

Blow giant soap bubbles with this Guinness world record giant bubble recipe! Best bubble solution recipe!

 

In a large bucket or container, add 3 gallons of hot water. Add baking powder and mix well until there are no lumps.

In a separate smaller bowl, add guar gum powder and enough rubbing alcohol to blend it into a lump-free slurry that is thin enough to easily pour.
Begin stirring the water in the bucket until it creates a vortex in the center. Pour the guar gum alcohol slurry into it and continue stirring for a minute or two as the liquid thickens slightly.

Mix in the dish soap gently to avoid foaming. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.

Giant bubble recipe to create huge bubbles. Same recipe that was used to break the Guinness World Record for free floating soap bubbles!
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 tablespoons guar gum powder
  • 2-4 tablespoons rubbing alcohol
  • 3 gallons HOT water
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 20 oz Dawn power clean platinum dish soap

Instructions
 

  • In a large bucket or container, add 3 gallons of hot water. Add baking powder and mix well until there are no lumps.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, add guar gum powder and enough rubbing alcohol to blend it into a lump-free slurry that is thin enough to easily pour.
  • Begin stirring the water in the bucket until it creates a vortex in the center. Pour the guar gum alcohol slurry into it and continue stirring for a minute or two as the liquid thickens slightly.
  • Mix in the dish soap gently to avoid foaming. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Use it or store it in a container!

We made the giant bubble recipe and then we used our giant bubble wand to create these huge bubbles! You can make your own giant bubble wands or buy them. Then just hold one wand in each hand and dip the string in the giant bubble solution. Allow it to absorb the solution for 20 seconds and then lift the string out of the solution, keeping the wands together and lifting them straight up to eye level. Slowly separate your arms sideways and allow the breeze from behind you to blow the soap bubble between the string opening. Then bring the two wands together to cut off and release the bubble when it’s big enough.

After our fun outdoors, we headed indoors for a snack and some rest time. The kids were excited to watch the new Teletubbies: Bubbles DVD!

I chose the TELETUBBIES: BUBBLES DVD for our bubble themed day because it is packed with singing, dancing and splashing, all centered around bubbles! Teletubbies is celebrating 20 Years of Big Hugs throughout 2017. This DVD hits stores on June 20th or you can pre-order it now on Amazon. The DVD  features six all-new episodes with Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po as they sing, dance, play and of course, eat Tubby Custard!

Brady loves the included song Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes! Watch as the Tubby Custard Machine is making lots and lots of Tubby Custard bubbles! Join the Teletubbies as they chase and pop bubbles, play with a magical music box and dance the energetic Tubby Phone Dance.

Teletubbies is designed to help young children develop their physical, emotional and cognitive skills in a warm, loving, playful environment. It delivers a variety of developmental benefits:

  • Laughing
  • Finding a Voice
  • Getting Along with Others
  • Listening and Responding

    Giant bubbles are a blast! I used to make them years ago when I taught preschool and the kids loved them. We would use the old fashioned bubble wands that were the giant plastic wands with what looked like a jump rope hooked to it. It was really easy to get big bubbles with those wands.
