INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Dissolve the cornstarch in water, stirring really well.

  2. Gently stir in remaining ingredients.

  3. Avoid creating a lot of froth.

  4. Allow mixture to sit for at least an hour before playing with it.

  5. You can stir very gently if you see ingredients settling on the bottom of your container.

  6. Even as we played with ours, some powder settled, but it was fine.

  7. *Avoid creating froth when playing with the mixture

  8. *Overcast/humid conditions are best. Wind, dry air and sunlight will wick the moisture out of your bubbles.
