Frozen Bubbles
Make frozen bubbles that last longer and show beautiful ice crystals! This simple solution uses distilled water, dish soap, glycerin (or corn syrup), and a touch of sugar for perfect winter science fun.
Ingredients
- 1 cup distilled water warm
- 1/4 cup Dawn dish soap
- 2 tbsp glycerin corn syrup may be substituted
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a clean container. Stir gently to avoid creating foam.
- Let the solution rest for at least 1 hour (overnight is even better) to allow ingredients to bond.
- Use in your favorite bubble method: wand, bowl and straw, or cookie cutter bubbles.
- Store unused solution in a sealed container at room temperature. Bring inside briefly if it starts to freeze.
Notes
- Distilled water gives the most consistent, long-lasting bubbles.
- Glycerin creates stronger bubbles and better ice crystal formation; corn syrup can be used if needed.
- Sugar helps ice crystals form beautifully on frozen bubbles.
- Avoid shaking or foaming the solution—it works best smooth.
