@itsmesaramartinez: new here? welcome to parenting from a patio chair, my series all summer long where I show you the low-lift activities that keep my kids busy for actual hours while I stay seated, snack in hand, fully supervising from a safe and chair-based distance. follow along, new one every week. these giant bubbles are the current favorite over here, the kind that float around forever 🫧 what you’ll need: for the bubble solution 4 gallons distilled water 4 cups blue Dawn (basically a full big bottle, regular original, not ultra) 1/4 cup guar gum 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 cup glycerin (optional but really helps) a kiddie pool to hold the solution for the wand 1 pool noodle clear packing tape (this is what I used and it held up great) a knife or scissors how to make the bubble solution: in a small bowl, stir the guar gum and the glycerin together into a smooth paste, this keeps the guar gum from clumping when it hits the water pour the paste into the distilled water and whisk until fully dissolved gently stir in the Dawn and the baking soda, try not to froth it let it rest for a few hours or overnight, this is the step everyone skips and it makes a massive difference pour into the kiddie pool, you only need a couple inches of depth to dip the wand how to make the pool noodle wand: cut a small piece off one end of the pool noodle, about 6 inches or so, that little piece is going to be the handle take the long piece and bend it into a loop, then attach each end of the long piece to the small handle piece using the packing tape, you end up with an oval with the handle along the bottom dip the whole oval flat into the solution, lift it up slowly, and walk with it if your kiddo is on the younger side, the giant wand can be a lot for them, so just hand them a regular bubble wand and let them go to town, the solution is the real magic #creatorsearchinsights #outdoorfun #outdooractivity #outdoorplay #kidsactivities
