Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup dish soap Preferably clear and unscented.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of dish soap.
  • Mix well using a spoon or spatula until combined.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
  • If you want colorful bubble dough, add a few drops of food coloring and knead the dough in the bowl until the color is evenly distributed.
  • Once your bubble dough is ready, transfer it to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Consider adding a few drops of essential oils for scented dough. You can also substitute cornstarch with baking soda for a different texture. Use cookie cutters or molds for creating fun shapes or glow-in-the-dark paint for added excitement.
