No Tears Bubbles
Standard bubble recipe
No tears shampoo
Use any standard bubble recipe. I usually don't measure but just mix the soap, sugar or corn syrup and water till it's thick. Children can use this with the no tears formula shampoo and if they rub their eyes it won't sting like other solutions will. The green plastic berry baskets make great bubble wands.

Exploratorium's Bubble Recipe
2/3 Cup (160 ml) Dawn™ dishwashing liquid
1 tablespoon (15 ml) glycerine (available at most drugstores)
1 gallon (3.8 l) of water.
Stir ingredients together. Aging the solution for at least a day before use significantly increases the lifetime of the bubbles.
