Break open the bubbly

The Bubble Blowers Museum has tips for making your own bubble-blowing solution (so you don’t have to run out to the store to stock up anymore) as well as tips for blowing something truly spectacular (our fave: use a fly swatter to make a flurry of tiny bubbles). Or check out the instructions for super-huge bubbles at Kids Turn Central!
