How to Make DIY Scented Rainbow Bubbles
- Open up the empty egg carton, and cut along each hinge to create two pieces. The two egg-compartment pieces will be used for holding bubbles.
- Mix 6 cups of water, 1 cup of unscented dish soap, and 1 Tbsp of glycerin. Stir the solution to combine.
- Pour the bubble solution into eight jars or bottles, one for each color of the rainbow.
- Add a drop of food coloring into each jar to have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors. Add a drop or two of essential oil to each color and stir.
- Make the fun-shaped bubble wands, making sure that they fit into the jar openings
- and are the size of one egg compartment. Use tape to secure the handles or twist the wire together.
- Pour the colored bubbles into the egg compartments, encourage the child to smell each solution, and ask which scent and color combinations they like best. Then, start making bubbles!
