Note: Keep in mind that because this recipe uses corn syrup, it will be a little sticky on the hands. Because of that, we can’t really say this is a mess-free activity for the kids but everyone will have a blast when it comes to playing with the bubbles.

Since corn syrup is sticky, you can always have the kids wear gloves to keep their hands clean. You can also mix everything outside or in the sink to help keep the mess low.

For the cleanup of the unpoppable bubbles, warm water works magic! The warm water will help with the sticky corn syrup.
