When you need to mix things up a bit, try this super simple craft you can easily put together out of supplies you have in your cabinet. Encourage your children to help make the bubbles. For older kids, double or triple the recipe and have them help with the conversion math! Store the bubbles in an airtight container and they will last even longer!
Supplies:
- 1 T. Dawn dish soap
- 2 T. sugar
- 4 T. water
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Bubble wands (We used leftover ones from bubble sticks from the dollar store.)
- Soft winter gloves or mittens (not ones with waterproof material for actually playing in the snow)

Directions:

- Using your gloves, gently catch and bounce your bubbles!
Pro Tip: Ideally, make and play with these bubbles outdoors. They can be done inside on a tile floor for easy cleanup, or you can try this out in the bathtub.
