I tried several common Aussie brands before I found Fairy in the local IGA supermarket, but this brand can also be hard to find in Australia.

If you can’t find any of the above detergents, try a brand that has good de-greasing abilities.

If your solution doesn’t work at all, don’t be afraid to experiment by adding extra detergent or guar gum.

To get a good bubble wave the wand gently in large circles in the air. My 5 year old mastered it beautifully but my 4 year old only got a few big, real bubbles.

There is a bit of a technique required to getting a real, big bubble floating in the air.

My kids were AMAZED by the huge bubbles they made. It’s really hard (even for me) to put the bubble wand down and resist creating just one more. Once we had the mixture working I found the bubble-making somewhat addictive. We tipped the bubble solution into a large pot plant tray, because it needs to be big and round enough to fit the wands in easily. The kids found this wand pretty tricky to use because it’s so big, but they had great fun popping all the bubbles I made with it. For the “string” I used a very thick wool (as thick as a skipping rope) and just tied it in simple knots at the ends of each stick. Here is a simple diagram that explains how we made our string wand. Get two sticks (we used long dowel rods) and tie a piece of looped string to the ends. This wand was easier for the kids to use, but for the REALLY big bubbles we used a string wand that was even quicker to make. You don’t need to decorate the stick but we like pretty things and I added some coloured yarn and a few beads and feathers at the end.

Coloured yarn, beads and feathers as optional extras to decorateĬut the hooked end off the coat hanger with the wire cutters, attach it to the stick with duct tape and secure well by wrapping twine around it many times.A straight stick (ours was from the garden).It should rest for an hour before you use it. Let the mixture cool, stirring every 10 minutes or so.

As you can see, my kids did the stirring and created lots of bubbles but the recipe still worked for us.ĥ. Finally, add the detergent and stir gently so as not to create too many bubbles. Add this to the 12 cups of warm water and stir. Add the 2 cups of HOT water to the guar gum mix and stir for about 30 seconds until the gel has really thinned out into the water.Ĥ. It should thicken and become a bit like a gel.ģ.

Stir to combine and keep stirring for another 30 seconds. In a smaller container or jug add the guar gum, baking powder and glycerine. Measure the 12 cups of warm tap water into a bucket or large container and set aside.Ģ. The detergent you use is very important, some brands will not work at all or you would need to add a much greater amount to get the recipe to work.ġ. 1 cup detergent – I used Fairy, pictured below, but if you are able to get a hold of Dawn or Joy (hard to get in Australia) I’ve read they are the best ones to use.1 teaspoon guar gum (found in health food shops – guar gum is used commonly in gluten free baking).2 cups HOT water (ours was straight from the kitchen tap).We tried lots of recipes and had quite a few failed batches that didn’t work at all (always a disappointment, especially when you’ve waited a week to let it ‘rest’). In the end the winning combination for us is this one, adapted from this awesome bubble website. In fact, I think I enjoyed this activity way better than the kids! In this post I’ll be sharing an awesome recipe that really works and two different kinds of easy DIY giant bubble wands. A Bubble Blower can only be used a singular time, but can be stacked (up to 10).Giant bubbles must be the coolest thing ever. It is now a limited-use item as of New Horizons.Prior to New Horizons, the Bubble Wand is an unlimited-use item it will not disappear from the player's inventory on use.If the player runs into bubbles in the air they will pop.Phineas gives the player advice that it cheers up sad residents, though this is not likely, as when the player blows bubbles next to a resident that is upset, they don't cheer up.The bubble blower is animated when the player presses the A button. It can be won from Redd's raffle booth as one of the awarded prizes. Therefore, it's not a handheld item of infinite use. In the 1.4 summer update (wave 2), the bubble wand is renamed to "Bubble Blower" and comes in a stackable quantity of 10. If the player equips the bubble wand, bubbles can be blown by pressing the A button or blowing into the Nintendo 3DS's microphone. When you talk to that player in the Happy Home Showcase, they will hand the item to the player. In New Leaf, it is able to be obtained by streetpassing the same person 5 times.
