Homemade Giant Bubble Solutionīy accident, we discovered that the bubble solution will actually freeze in the bubble wand. I want to try a recipe with glycerin next time and compare those results. The success rate and freezing time both was pretty consistent with both solutions. I thought that the homemade solution would work better, but they both preformed about the same. We tried blowing bubbles with both a store bought bubble solution, and a homemade version. Since we had more popped bubbles than frozen rolling bubbles, they were able to collect lots of fairy wings. I couldn’t think of a better way to describe it. Annika described it as light and delicate almost like fairy wings. The kids had a blast collecting the frozen bubble film. We were amazed that it was able to hold part of its shape. Instead of popping like a regular bubble, her frozen bubble gently let our air. Annika really wanted to see what would happen when she poked her finger through the bubble. I love the frozen pattern on top of this bubble.

It looked a bit like the shell of a cracked egg. The top of the bubble float away, while the piece that was frozen to the ground fluttered in the breeze. Notice the wrinkles on the left hand side. It is just starting in the picture above. This one seemed to slowly deflate and almost implode on itself. The few that did land on the ground, were more interesting than the ones that just shattered in the air. It was fascinating watching the frozen bubbles pop. Notice my 3 kids reflection in the bubble above. You can see the beginning of the crystalline patterns forming at the base of the bubble. A few stronger bubbles (as Annika called them) did make it to the ground. However, most of our bubbles shattered in mid air or as they hit the ground. We were excited to watch the bubbles freeze.
My tips/tricks for getting bubbles to freeze is at the bottom of the post. I just think my expectations might have been a little distorted ) But don’t get discouraged, we had a blast experimenting and will be trying it again soon. We were surprised by that since it was -33F. About 1 in ever 15 bubbles that we blew actually froze. Ha! I think that Pinterest made this one look so easy that I never assumed that we would struggle to get a bubble to actually freeze. Ok so I was expecting to blow bubbles and feel like I was standing in a winter wonderland with frozen floating orbs all around me. I cant wait to create our own frozen bubbles. I totally blame my excitement on Pinterest and all the beautiful photos out there.
I have to say I was more excited that the kids. We dug through the box of sidewalk chalk, water guns and summer paraphernalia to find our bubble wands. Since schools were closed, we decided to do a little cold weather science experiment. Last week our temps dipped below -30 F, brrrrrrrrr. We love creating colorful Bubble Snakes, and blowing beautiful bubble art however bowing bubbles in winter has been on our list for a while.
