Fireworks Bubbles- Glow in the Dark Bubble Recipe!

Waiting for the fireworks to begin during various celebrations can be a difficult time for the little ones. Since age is a factor in deciding whether or not to let them play with sparklers, why not spark their interest with something a bit more safe and just as fun- Glow in the Dark Bubbles that Bounce!

You'll

Need:

* 1 cup water
* 1 Tablespoon Dawn dish soap
* 1 Teaspoon of glycerin
* straw or bubble wand
* 1 clean glove (or sock) - (this is to keep the bubble from popping)
* 2 Tbs Water Based Glow in the Dark Paint

First, let me start of by saying, if you know that you have Hard or Soft water you'll need to use Distilled water instead. If you have nice spring water that isn't loaded with chemicals or minerals, use your tap water.

Glycerin can be found in the pharmacy section of most big box stores such as Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc. It's relatively cheap and lasts forever.

Mix water, Dish soap and glycerin in a jar until well combined, divide in half into 2 jars. Add 1 Tbs Water Based Glow paint to each jar (to make 2 different colors!), mix well.

Cover and let jars set for 24 hours before using.

Place jar in the sunlight if possible several hours before blowing bubbles.

Alternate Recipe Using a Glow Stick:

* 1 cup water
* 1 Tablespoon Dawn dish soap
* 1 Teaspoon of glycerin
* 1 Glow Stick
* straw or bubble wand

Mix water, Dish soap and glycerin in a jar until well combined. Cover jar and let set 24 hours. Just prior to use activate a glow stick, carefully cut the end off and pour it into the bubble mixture. Stir well & Blow Bubbles!
