It all started with a jar.
I was recently at a thrift store and came across the most amazing glass jar that had a spicket/dispenser at the bottom. It was one of those old school containers that have thick glass and look like something that you would fill with iced tea and put on table next to a porch swing (sigh, someday I will have a fabulous porch swing). Anyways, this beauty of jar was pleading with me to take it home. And for $1, I did just that.
But what to put in it? Iced tea... maybe, but then it would just sit in the fridge. Little B's art supplies... no. And then the idea came to me. Something that would make my little one dance her happy dance every time she saw it... Bubble Potion!
So I whipped up a batch of Bubble Potion and put it in the jar. I think it looks nice (though that is just a temporary label until I think of something better) and no more messy bubble residue all over everything.
This Bubble Potion beats anything you will find in the stores. And you most likely already have all of the ingredients. I swear it makes the BEST BUBBLES EVER! And yes, that statement has been confirmed by my almost-2-year-old Bubble Expert.

Bubble Potion
1-1/2 quarts of water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 cup liquid dish soap
Mix the water and corn syrup first until well blended. Then slowly stir in the soap. This concoction will last several weeks in an airtight container.
And as a side note, this is my favorite gift to take to little kids' birthday parties. Just put some bubble potion in a cute jar and put it with one of those bubble wands that you find in Target dollar bin. It is inexpensive and a sure-fire winner. I have yet to meet a kid that does not like bubbles.
Happy bubble-making!
