It's Water-Wise Wednesday with Frannie the Fish {Giant Bubbles}

Its summertime and that means swimming, riding bikes, and playing outside! Frannie wants to share a fun, outdoor activity that you can do with your Girl Scout troop:

Giant Bubbles!

Here's what you'll need:

• Small child's plastic swimming pool
• Cement block
• Hoola-hoop

There are two recipes you can use to make the soap for your giant bubbles:

Recipe A
2 bottles of white Karo syrup (32 ounces)
3 bottles of Lemon Joy dish-washing liquid (32 ounces)

OR

Recipe B
2 cups Dawn dish-washing liquid
1/4 cup glycerine

Preparation:
  
Recipe A
1. Pour the ingredients in a five gallon container, fill the rest of the container with water.
2. Stir and let set overnight.

Recipe B
1. Mix the ingredients, add enough water to make a gallon.
2. Gently stir.

Here's what you do:
1. Pour the bubble solution into the plastic swimming pool. A cement block placed in the middle of the pool will provide a safe place for the Girl Scouts to stand.
2. A plastic hoola-hoop acts as the bubble wand. Simply place the hoop in the bubbles and lift out of the pool and up over the Girl Scout's head.

Safety First: 
This activity is very messy and very slippery. Several volunteers need to be on hand to help the Girl Scouts in and out of the bubble pool.
