Homemade Bubbles
1/2 cup dish detergent
5 cups water
1 teaspoon oil
Mix all ingredients together and have suds of fun!
Play Dough
4Cups flour
1 ½ cups of water
1 cup of salt
In a large, flat bottomed bowl, mix flour, & salt with a spatula. Add water slowly, mixing as you pour. Additional water may be added if needed, but the dough should be very stiff. Knead for 10 minutes. Dough is ready to use when texture appears soft and smooth.
When the little artist is done playing with the dough, it can be stored in an air tight container. For longer lasting dough, store in the refrigerator!
This dough can also be sculpted, or cut into creations that can be bakes in the oven set at 325 degrees. Baking time depends on the thickness of dough, usually ½ hour per ¼ inch thickness. When your project is done baking and cooled, you will be able to paint it!

Haha! I have made both of those before! But I never used oil when I made bubble mix. That's probably why they never turned out very great. :-)
I've tried to make bubbles for the kids but it gets messy. I'll try the oil next time. Great idea!
