Sadly the Wizard of Oz I had downloaded from YouTube had been withdrawn, so I have set about adding a little more to Rainbow Land Instead. Enjoy. xxx
How to Make Rainbow
Bubbles
These days, you can equip yourself with all types
of fancy gadgets in
order to create rainbow bubbles: Apart from
electric bubble machines,
you can purchase special solutions that enhance the
rainbow effect or
others that allow you to create burst-resistant
bubbles. However, there
is still the old-fashioned method, which saves you
money and the trip
to the store; all you need to do is gather a couple
of items from your kitchen to create some simple
outdoor fun for everyone and bring back childhood
memories with a modern twist.
Things You'll
Need:
4 teaspoons dish soap
1 cup water
2 teaspoons light corn syrup or glycerine
(optional)
Liquid food colouring (red, blue, green)
Plastic cups
Straw
Tape (optional)
Add 4 teaspoons of dish soap to
a cup of water; stir well until both liquids are
combined. In order to make the bubbles,
add 2 teaspoons light corn syrup or glycerine (the
latter is available
at your local pharmacy). Divide the solution
equally into plastic cups.
Add 3 to 4 drops of different food
colourings into each cup and stir until the colour
is evenly blended.
Create a bubble wand. An easy way
is to bend a straw carefully into a loop, taping
both ends together and wrapping the tape several
times to create a grip. The bigger the loop, the
bigger the bubble. You can skip this step if you
prefer to use a simple
straw.
Find a nice spot outside and dip
your bubble wand or your straw into the homemade
bubble solution. A thin liquid film should coat the
opening of your straw or stretch in the loop of
your wand.
Blow your bubbles using a gentle, persistent stream
of air, allowing them to grow; too much force will
result in the bubble expanding too quickly, causing
it to burst.
Tips ; Warnings
Handle your bubble solution with care, because food
colouring may stain clothes and certain surfaces.
Make sure bubbles do not burst too close to the
faces of younger children, since bubble solution
may irritate their eyes and turn the fun into
tears. Don't forget to clean up when you are done.
Extensive bubble blowing can make smooth surfaces
slippery, potentially causing falls.
