Bubble Fun

The boys started Cheder on Rosh Chodesh Elul, but as with every Rosh Chodesh, they had a shorter day.  So for our afternoon activity, we had blast playing with bubbles!  Over the summer we had gone to a "bubble show" here in Beitar, where the performer showed some really cool tricks, and gave outa  superb recipe for homemade bubble mix- something I have tried to make many times in the past but never worked quite right.  Well his recipe was amazing, and the kids had lots of fun doing all sorts of activities with bubbles!

Here's the recipe (I figured this is a good place to "write" it down, so I'll have it for next time!)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp high-quality dish soap (he suggested "Fairy" brand sold here in E"Y)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
Obviously this can be multiplied by any amount (I think we doubled it).  

Enjoy!

Yisroel and AS look great in their glasses! And suddenly Yisroel looks so much like you. Adorable kiddos all of them!

Take a plastic cup, poke a small hole in the bottom and stick a straw in. Cover opening of cup with a baby wipe and secure with a rubber band. You dip this into the bubble mix and blow away- it makes a huge amount of bubble foam, which you see Azriel, Bruria, and Naftali having a blast with.
