The modern world of toys is a whole industry. Interactive dolls, radio-controlled equipment, children's computers, construction sets and play centers can turn a child's leisure time into an exciting adventure. But there is one fun, which does not care about modern trends. These are soap bubbles, whose magic captivates and makes you believe in miracles. But to understand how to make soap bubbles at home, it’s not enough just to know the technology ...

The history of the creation of bubbles is connected with the invention of soap. Children already in ancient times knew how to inflate balloons from soapy water. This is confirmed by wall paintings found in archaeological excavations and thematic works of art. And the picture "Soap Bubbles", painted by the artist John Millet, was so successfully used to advertise soap by a British company that already in the 19th century, English soap makers began to produce a special liquid for blowing bubbles. Since then, the popularity of the "soapy" discovery has only grown.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, foaming liquid has been sold everywhere and at a very affordable price. Today, a bottle of soap bubbles is one of the most popular and best-selling children's toys. Many parents want to please their children with bright unusual balls at their first desire. Why not? This dream is quite feasible, because making a solution for soap bubbles on your own is not at all difficult.

Main components and how to blow

There are only four traditional components of the solution: soap, water, sugar and glycerin. The main thing is to properly prepare the liquid for soap bubbles, observing the technology and proportions. Then the blown balls will be light, large and "long-playing".

"Five" tips on how to simply dissolve soap bubbles.

1. Water. It affects the quality of the foam. Use cooled boiled water, but the best option is distilled, melted or rainwater.
2. Soap base. Choose a soap or any detergent with a neutral scent and with a predominance of natural ingredients.
3. Additional ingredients. For the stability of the balls, supplement the solution with glycerin or sugar.
4. The density of the solution. Adjust the saturation of the composition: a dense solution is difficult to blow out, and a weak one - on the contrary, it will be easily blown out even by the smallest ones, but the quality of the bubbles will also be weak.
5. Soap solution cooling. It is recommended to hold the solution for complete settling of the foam in the refrigerator.

And here are the options for blowing:

• straw or hollow grass;
• tube for a cocktail;
• long pasta of any thickness;
• confectionery figured forms for baking cookies;
• body of a student's pen;
• thick paper rolled up;
• ordinary plastic bottle with a cut off bottom;
• carpet beater;
• wire twisted into a circle or oval;
• purchased children's gun for blowing bubbles.

How to make soap bubbles: classic and cool recipes

"Sweet" way

Peculiarities. Sugar strengthens the walls of the bubbles no worse than glycerin. So, if the latter is not at hand, feel free to replace it with a sweet component. If the finished composition is removed for almost a day in a cold place, then the solution will become clean, without a bubble film.

4. If the liquid is too thick, dilute with more water.

Mix to make pyramids

Peculiarities. Here is a special recipe. A little imagination - and soap castles, space characters, bizarre designs will grow on your child's table.

6. Carefully, so that foam does not form, add 200 ml of dishwashing gel.

It is not difficult to make strong, "tenacious" soap bubbles correctly. And in order for the balls to keep their shape well and for a long time, send the mixed solutions to “ripen” in the refrigerator for at least a day.

Secrets of creating colored ...

And let's go back to history. American inventor Tim Kehoe spent more than ten years of his life and several million dollars to realize his cherished dream - the creation of colored bubbles. The highlight of his “soap-colored” discovery, which happened already in the 2000s, is that after a certain time, blue, red or yellow bubbles burst and at the same time leave no stains at all.

At home, spectacular multi-colored bubbles will be obtained if ordinary food coloring is diluted in any prescription solution. And to arrange a real color carnival, pour the soap base into several containers and add your color to each.

... flavored ...

The “fragrant” recipe for a solution for inflating soap balloons is very simple. It consists of combining one part water with three parts bath foam. In this case, the bubbles will not only play in the sun with beautiful tints, but also smell appetizingly of strawberries, vanilla, chocolate, lemon or pine needles.

… and freezing balls

Pay attention to the consistency of the composition for the hardening balls: it should be at least a couple of times thicker than usual and resemble a viscous, transparent glue or strong sugar syrup. These bubbles solidify on contact with the surface and are cooked in four steps.

Let's make a thick sugar syrup. To do this, pour two tablespoons (with a slide) of sugar with one spoon of warm water.

1. Rub the fourth part of a hundred-gram bar of soap.
2. Mix two tablespoons of glycerin with soap chips.
3. We will combine everything and pour in five or six tablespoons of distilled water (boiled water is also suitable).

Quality control

Based on any of the recipes, you can safely experiment. The main thing is not to overdo it with certain components. You can check the condition of the finished liquid as follows:

• blow a bubble;
• remove a little foam from the top of the finished solution with your finger;
• touch the bubble with a foamy finger.

If the ball bursts, you must additionally add soap, drop glycerin or sugar syrup. The bubble remained intact - the composition turned out to be correct.

Bubbles from the Guinness Book

The art of creating and inflating soap bubbles is very popular and large-scale. True professionals in this field not only keep unique secret formulas secret: they have been honing the technique of movements for years, subtly feel the “correct” natural conditions (humidity and wind).

The most phenomenal cases are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. For example, the largest soap balloon was inflated in 1996 by Alan McKay. Its diameter was 32 m. And another record holder, Sam Hist, managed to place as many as 50 people in a giant bubble of soap, 1.5 by 3 m in size. This extraordinary event happened already in our century - in 2007.

If you think that soap bubbles are only summer fun, then you are wrong. In winter, transparent balls take on a fabulous look. You already know how to make soap bubbles with your own hands without glycerin. Use this recipe and watch how the frosty air decorates the balls with fancy, lacy patterns. Such as on home windows on the coldest winter days. This is guaranteed to please both children and adults, because we are not averse to once again returning to the bright world of childhood.

How to make soap bubbles at home?

Soap bubbles have attracted both children and adults since ancient times. During excavations in Pompeii, archaeologists found frescoes (1st century AD) depicting people blowing bubbles. This game is no less popular today.

Durability is the main thing that is valued in soap bubbles. This property directly depends on the correct proportion of the ingredients for the solution, therefore, if you decide to make bubbles yourself, you must strictly follow the instructions.

Recipe 1

One of the easiest ways. You need to take 200 g of dishwashing detergent (only not for dishwashers), 600 ml of water and 100 ml of glycerin (sold in any pharmacy). All ingredients must be mixed well. Ready! The glycerin (or sugar) in this formulation contributes to the strength of the blisters. By the way, you can’t take plain tap water - it will contain a lot of salts, and this will have a bad effect on the quality of the film. Therefore, it is better to boil water and let it cool or use distilled water. Such bubbles will be durable, although not very large.

Recipe 2

This method is more difficult - it will take more time and require complex components. For 600 ml of hot boiled water, you need to take 300 ml of glycerin, 20 drops of ammonia and 50 g of any detergent (in powder form). We mix all the ingredients and leave to brew for two to three days. After that, the solution is carefully filtered and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours. A little tedious, but such a product will allow you to make long-lasting and large bubbles, just like professionals performing at the soap bubble show.

How to check the quality of the prepared mixture?

A bubble with a diameter of 30 mm should, on average, “live” for about 30 seconds. If you dip your finger in a soapy solution, and then quickly touch it to a soap bubble - and the bubble does not burst - then the solution turned out to be correct.

After the soap solution is ready, we just have to choose a tool for blowing bubbles.

How to blow soap bubbles?

A "classic" among bubble blowers is a straw, such as a cocktail straw. The straw was also used 300 years ago - we see it in the picture of the French painter of the 18th century Jean-Baptiste Chardin(1699-1779) "Soap bubbles" - and continue to use now.

Soap Bubbles, Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin, 1734. Photo: Public Domain

To blow soap bubbles more difficult, for example, according to the “matryoshka” principle, pour the bubble solution into a flat plate with a diameter of about 20 cm. Using a straw, inflate the bubble so that it “lies” on the plate. You will get a hemispherical bubble. Now gently insert the tube inside the bubble and inflate another one, but smaller.

How to prepare a solution for giant (from 1 m in diameter) soap bubbles?

The show with huge soap bubbles shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow fascinates both adults and children. It can decorate both children's parties and weddings and give an unforgettable magical atmosphere.

Recipes for large (from 1 m in diameter) bubbles

Recipe #1

• 0.8 l of distilled water,
• 0.2 l dishwashing detergent,
• 0.1 l of glycerin,
• 50 g sugar
• 50 g gelatin.

Soak gelatin in water, leave to swell. Then strain and drain off excess water. Melt the gelatin with sugar without boiling. Pour the resulting liquid into 8 parts of distilled water, add the remaining ingredients and mix without foaming (foam is the enemy of soap bubbles!).

Such a solution gives especially large and durable blisters, and most importantly, it is absolutely non-toxic, which means that it is harmless to you and your child even when it comes into contact with the skin.

Recipe number 2

• 0.8 l of distilled water,
• 0.2 l of thick dishwashing detergent,
• 0.1 l of lubricant gel without impurities,
• 0.1 l of glycerin.

Mix gel, glycerin and dishwashing liquid. Add hot distilled water and mix thoroughly without creating foam on the surface. This method will allow you to make the most "tenacious" bubbles that do not burst even when in contact with water.

How to make giant bubbles?

For blowing giant bubbles, an ordinary straw will not work. Tie a woolen thread to two sticks, such as knitting needles. The resulting design must be dipped in a plate with soapy water, allowing the woolen thread to soak. Further, pushing and moving the spokes, try to create your first soap creation.

Another - more complex - manufacturing method will require step-by-step instructions. You will need 2 sticks, a string that should absorb the soapy solution, and a bead.

Step 1. One end of the string must be tied to the end of one of the sticks.

Step 2 Step back 80 cm and put on a bead (acts as a load), then tie the cord to another stick.

Step 3 The remaining tip must be tied back to the first knot. The result should be a triangle of cord on sticks.

To start a bubble, dip the string into the solution, let it soak up the soap, and then pull it out, raise it with outstretched arms in front of you and straighten the sticks. Do not make sudden movements, but do not delay the process, as the soapy solution can quickly spill onto the ground.

*Bubble show stores and large children's stores have a huge selection of giant soap bubble blowers in different shapes and with different numbers of cells. You can blow one big bubble or a swarm of tiny bubbles that will scatter in different directions in an instant.

Surely everyone remembers how much joy blowing soap bubbles brings! It does not matter whether you are an adult or a child - the flight of balloons shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow fascinates at any age. And how much grief the baby has if a magical liquid accidentally pours out during the game! Usually my mother came to the rescue, knowing how to make a solution for soap bubbles at home.

Today, there are many ways to prepare liquid for soap bubbles with your own hands. And knowing the composition, there is no reason to worry that this solution will damage the skin due to the use of low-quality or harmful components. And it will not be bad at all if you involve your children in the process of preparing the fun - no doubt they will be delighted with this.
