Homemade Giant Bubbles Recipe

Make the biggest bubbles ever with this homemade giant bubble recipe.

Homemade giant bubbles have been on our to-do list for a while, but we were waiting for optimum weather conditions:  humid and overcast, with very little wind. Well, yesterday was perfect, so I whipped up this Giant Bubble Mix in the morning and we tried it this afternoon.  I am thrilled to report that this bubble recipe really does make the biggest bubbles ever!  And, if you’re looking for cool backyard science activities to do with the kids, you can put this at the top of your list!

Check out the size of these bubbles!  Science activities don’t get much cooler than this.

I have to admit, I was not altogether convinced that this bubble recipe would work.  The ingredients seemed strange, the cornstarch didn’t completely dissolve into the solution, and when I dipped my hand in, to kind of test what it felt like, it just didn’t feel like it would be slick and slippery enough to produce bubbles of any kind.

How wrong was I?

It was FANTASTIC!

I got my inspiration for this activity from Design Dazzle,  but I’ve tweaked the recipe a little because I didn’t have the ummm… interesting “secret ingredient”.  Pop over to see Design Dazzle’s Giant Bubble Kit with printables.  It would be the perfect gift for a summer birthday.

Ready to make some giant bubble mix for yourself?  Here’s what I did:

Homemade Giant Bubble Recipe:

affiliate links have been added for your convenience 

• 6 cups water (distilled is best but tap water is fine)
• 1/2 cup blue Dawn dish detergent
  *I used the ultra concentrated, but NON ultra (original) is supposed to work even better.
• 1/2 cup corn starch (corn flour in the UK)
• 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda)
• 1 tbsp Glycerine
  (in place of design dazzle’s secret ingredient)

To make your bubble mixture:

Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, stirring really well.  Then gently stir in the remaining ingredients.  Avoid creating a lot of froth.  Allow your mixture to sit for at least an hour, stirring occasionally if you see the cornstarch settling to the bottom.  Some of ours continued to settle even while we played with it, but it was fine.

The more bubbles you make, the better the mixture gets! 

The first several bubbles popped immediately, and I was feeling deflated, but the more we played with the mixture, the silkier it got, and within a few minutes, we were creating HUGE bubbles.  Some would lift off, and float way above the houses and out of sight.  It was crazy-cool!   We found our groove – arms high and walking backwards worked best for us.

How to make a bubble wand for your homemade giant bubbles:

I used two drinking straws, and a length of yarn that was 6 to 8 times longer than the length of one straw.  Thread the yarn through the straws, tie a knot, and you’re good to go!

This homemade giant bubble mix really does make the biggest bubbles ever.  It was a fabulous science activity, and great for all ages;  my son and I had just as much fun with it as the preschoolers and toddlers did.

6. Even as we played with ours, some powder settled, but it was fine.
7. *Avoid creating froth when playing with the mixture
8. *Overcast/humid conditions are best. Wind, dry air and sunlight will wick the moisture out of your bubbles.

[SO] Super Family #14 – Bagaimana Persepsi Anda Selama Ini Terhadap Anak Anda?

Inbox

Weekly Super Family Newsletter Edisi #14 Website:www.sekolahorangtua.com Misi Sekolah Orangtua: Membangun keluarga yang sukses, harmonis dan bahagia 1) Wisdom Quotes Persepsi yang berbeda akan membantu melihat anak kita dengan cara berbeda pula 2) Weekly Super Family Articles Persepsi salah satu produk pikiran yang jika tidak diwaspadai akan menyetir keseluruhan perilaku kita. Melalui persepsi kita menilai apakah seseorang dapat digolongkan sebagai orang baik ataupun orang jahat. Melalui persepsi, kesalahpahaman seringkali terjadi. Persepsi kita terhadap anak juga akan mempengaruhi bagaimana kita memperlakukan mereka. Perlakuan kita akan berakibat pada masa depan mereka. Masa depan mereka juga menentukan masa depan kita. Ketika mereka berhasil maka kita akan bahagia. Ketika mereka gagal maka kita akan turut sengsara memikirkannya. Jika memiliki persepsi bahwa anak kita tergolong anak yang sulit dan lamban belajar, tentunya kita akan memeperlakukannya demikian. Kita akan memborbardir dia dengan les-les dan anjuran-anjuran untuk belajar serta mengurangi bermain. Jika kita memiliki persepsi bahwa anak kita adalah anak yang pemalas. Tentunya kita akan berupaya segala cara agar anak kita menjadi rajin. Segala perilakunya akan kita nilai dari salah satu bentuk kemalasannya. Jika kita memiliki persepsi bahwa anak kita sedang berproses dalam kehidupannya maka akan dengan mudah kita memaklumi kesalahannya dan membimbingnya menuju yang benar. Ada suatu kisah tentang seorang ibu yang kelelahan setelah berbelanja kebutuhan sehari-hari. Ketika tiba di rumah, beliau dikejutkan dengan laporan anak tertuanya yang mengatakan bahwa adiknya telah mencorat-coret tembok rumah dengan crayon barunya. Si ibu menjadi sangat marah karena tembok rumah  baru saja selesai dicat dengan warna yang baru. Dengan perasaan marah, si ibu meminta kakak untuk menunjukkan dimana adiknya dan coretan itu berada. Tentu saja dengan senang hati dan penuh kemenangan si kakak menujukkannya pada ibu. Sesampai ditempat yang dituju, si ibu tidak dapat berkata apa-apa. Ia hanya diam terpaku dan matanya mulai berkaca-kaca ketika ia membaca coretan yang tertera ditembok kamar tidurnya “IBU, AKU MENCINTAIMU”. Persepsi awal si ibu adalah adik sedang berperilaku nakal karena mencoret-coret tembok. Namun saat ia membaca tulisan di tembok berubahlah persepsinya – coretan itu merupakan ungkapan rasa sayang sang anak pada dirinya. Dan si ibu langsung berubah sikap dan tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Bagaimana membentuk persepsi yang benar ? Sadari semuanya, hanya itu! Sadarilah ketika kita berpikir dan merasa, persepsi apa yang melatarbelakangi pemikiran tersebut. Cobalah memperlambat reaksi kita agar dapat melihat dan merasakan dengan jelas apa yang  melintas di pikiran kita.

Jack and the Beanstalk

JACK SELLS THE COW ONCE upon a time there was a poor widow who lived in a little cottage with her only son Jack.
	Jack was a giddy, thoughtless boy, but very kind-hearted and affectionate. There had been a hard winter, and after it the poor woman had suffered from fever and ague. Jack did no work as yet, and by degrees they grew dreadfully poor.
The widow saw that there was no means of keeping Jack and herself from starvation but by selling her cow; so one morning she said to her son, `I am too weak to go myself, Jack, so you must take the cow to market for me, and sell her.’

English Tenses – Graphic Comparison

Problems with the English tenses? Have a look at the time line, it might help you understand when to use which tense. As there is a similarity between past, present and future tenses, there are just a few rules to keep in mind.

Domestic Cat

Cats are very popular pets and there are many different breeds that all vary in size, colour and markings. An average cat reaches a length of 50-60 cm and weighs about 3-5 kg. The fur may be black, white, brown, grey, red, black and white, tabby (striped) or calico.

Cats are very good hunters and use their strong, sharp claws and teeth to grab and hold their prey. In the wild, cats feed on mice, birds and other small animals.

Senses

Cats see and hear extremely well. They can see in the dark and hear many sounds that humans are not able to hear. To feel their way round, cats use their whiskers.

Cat Language

Cats say ‘meow’. If they feel very comfortable, they purr. If a cat is angry, it wags its tail, lowers its ears, and hisses or growls. Just watch your cat: eyes, ears, tail and body posture tell you a lot about how your cat feels.

Things your cat needs

• food and water – There are many different sorts of food. Ask your vet or pet shop for assistance. Make sure that your cat always has a bowl of fresh water. Cats never drink where they eat, so put the water bowl at least one metre away from the food bowl.
• a litter box and litter – Keep the litter box clean or you will soon have some stinky corners in your living room
• a carrier – You’ll have to see the vet from time to time. If you have to transport a cat, always use a carrier.
• a place to sleep – This can be a fancy cat’s bed, the carrier or just an old cushion or blanket.
• toys – Pet shops have lots of toys for cats, but even rolled-up wads of paper make nice toys. The most important thing is that you take your time to play with your cat.
• a scratching post – A cat needs to scratch its claws and if you don’t have a post, your furniture will suffer.

Meet the ego4u cats

Our two cats are Ramses and Tari. Ramses is a tabby tom-cat. He is very relaxed and his favourite activities are eating and sleeping. Tari is a black cat from the animal shelter. She is very active and loves playing and being snuggled. She doesn’t like visitors, however – when someone comes to see us, she always hides away. While we are working on ego4u, Ramses and Tari are sleeping on the desk in front of the monitor.
