RE: Anyone have a fool-proof BUBBLE recipe?
The recipe I use comes from the book "How to Make Monstrous, Huge, Unbelievably BIG Bubbles" by David Stein and Klutz Press. The book comes with a "bubble thing" which can make the giant bubbles. I highly recommend the book and toy- I have had SO much fun with them over the years! Kids and adults both have a blast- I bet your daughter would love it. The bubble recipe works fabulously for small bubbles, too.
The recipe in the book makes a bucketful of solution, but I bet you could change "cups" to "parts" and make how much or little you need:
1 cup soap
12 cups water (up to 50% more on dry days)
1/4 cup glycerine (optional, but good)
For the big bubbles, they recommend the blue Ultra Dawn dishsoap. Second best is Ivory dishsoap. They also recommend letting the solution sit overnight.
Seriously, this bubble thing is a blast. Little kids love to play in the big bubbles you make, and older kids make their own.
