Guest Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I bought 4 x 1 litre bottles of bubble mixture from Tesco in July and although this is our first week back its nearly all gone. Does anyone know where I might buy in bulk (eg 5L) at a reasonable price? I will dash back to Tesco but generally its a seasonal product.
AnonyMouse_79 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Thats alot of bubbles! Can you not use washing up liquid or bubble bath?
Guest Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 It is a lot of bubbles but with our children being so small they do tend to spill rather a lot, but they also use the bubbles a lot too and get loads out of it. The big bubble blowers use a lot too. I did find a recipe for making your own bubbles. Has anyone tried it with any success?

I have never managed to make a satisfactory batch of bubbles - I know that someone had success with putting glycerine in the mixture, but I never know the proportions... Maz
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I bough really large containers of bubbles from ToyRUs not sure how much they hold I think probably around 2 litres.
Guest Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 I found a recipe on www.activityvillage.co.uk but I have to admit I have not tried it yet. 1/2 cup washing up liquid 5 cups water - soft is best, if water is very hard use bottled or distilled 2 Tablespoons glycerine Mix gently and if possible leave overnight to blend
Guest Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks Phil I've always wanted this recipe. The children just love bubbles
AnonyMouse_79 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Recipe from "The little Book of messy Play" 2 cups(500ml) washing up liquid 6 cups(1.5l) water 5 tablespoons sugar store in a gallon container!
Guest Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 That sounds easy enough Susan. I'll have a bash at the weekend and let you know how I get on!
