Instructions
You need two sticks and two pieces of string (one twice the length of the other) tied near the ends of each the stick (see photo). Add a bell in the middle for weight
For the bubble mixture
1 part washing liquid to 6 parts water to 1/4 part glycerine.
Let it rest overnight or if making the solution on the day you might need to add more glycerine and washing liquid. Try and be as gentle as possible when mixing.
The young people can make the bubbles smaller or bigger by changing how far apart their arms are. When they have a bubble of a decent size, they need to close the triangle by moving their arms near each other to release it. To make it more challenging you can do bubbles inside bubbles by gently blowing on a bubble they've just made.
