Just about any bubble solution will produce soap bubbles, but it takes a little extra care to make them strong enough to bounce. Here's a recipe for bouncing bubble solution and tips to keep bubbles from popping on contact.

Bouncing Bubble Recipe

• 1 cup distilled water
• 1 tablespoon liquid dishwashing detergent (I like Dawn)
• 1 teaspoon glycerin
• bubble wand or straw to blow bubbles

Simply mix together the ingredients and store it in a sealed container until you're ready to use it.

While the recipe may work with regular tap water, distilled water produces reliable results because it doesn't contain extra minerals that could prevent soap suds from forming. The detergent is what actually forms the bubbles. Glycerin stabilizes the bubbles by making them thicker and reducing how quickly water evaporates. Basically, it makes them stronger and longer-lasting.

You may get a little extra "oomph" from your bubble solution if you place it in the refrigerator to age overnight. Allowing time for the solution to rest after mixing it gives gas bubbles a chance to leave the liquid (which could prematurely pop your bubble).
