    best)
    Bend a coat hanger into a loop (maybe dad or mom can help you). Mix 1/2 cup of Joy or Dawn detergent with 5 cups water. Measure carefully as this makes a big difference. Stir well. Add two tablespoons of glycerin. This makes more durable bubbles. Now dip your coat hanger loop into the solution then wave it into the air.
