How to Create Giant, Reusable Bubbles Out of Elmer's Glue & Liquid Starch

Illustration of a person blowing bubbles with a straw.

Creating giant, reusable bubbles at home is easy, and it's a fun project for children. Just dump a whole bottle of non-toxic Elmer's Clear School Glue into a bowl, add fine glitter and watercolors (or food coloring), and slowly mix together Sta-Flo Liquid Starch to form a pliable concoction.

Once you are done creating the concoction, simply stick a large, wide straw (like the ones used for bubble teas) into a mound and blow hard. Experiment with different sizes, and simply squish bubbles back into a mound to reuse and repeat.

For more bubble fun, make sure to check out my guide on making giant soap bubbles at home, which is a little bit more complicated but totally worth it.
