Please caution your readers to make sure that they put the mixture in a deep, microwaveable bowl 🤩 I used a large Ziploc bag and learned the hard way, lol.

Can I ask the purpose of microwaving for 4 minutes? Excited to try this with our kids! Bubbles aren’t always accessible where we live 🙂
Sara Maniez says
From my understanding, it makes the bubbles stronger and longer lasting. Thank you for commenting!
Diane G says
I didn't read the actual instructions before nixing the ingredients so I didn't do the microwave step. We'll see how the bubbles are this afternoon as our granddaughter is coming over and she always wants to play with bubbles.☺️

What if you don’t have a microwave. Can you use a stove instead?
Sara Maniez says
Yes, you can use a saucepan on the stovetop instead of the microwave to create the bubble solution for this activity. Here are the modified instructions:
Materials:
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup Dawn dish soap (regular)
Tools:
Bubble wand(s)
Instructions:
In a saucepan, mix 2 1/2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup with a whisk until they are well combined.
Place the saucepan on the stovetop over low to medium heat. Heat the mixture, stirring continuously, until it is warm and the ingredients are fully dissolved. This usually takes a few minutes; do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once the mixture has cooled, stir in 1/2 cup of Dawn dish soap.
Now you have your bubble solution ready for use with your bubble wand(s).
Using the stovetop and saucepan is a suitable alternative to the microwave, especially if you don't have a microwave or prefer to use the stovetop. Just be sure to heat the mixture gently and avoid boiling it.
