How to Make DIY Unicorn Bubbles: A Step by Step Tutorial
When we were in quarantine, we were in constant need of stimulating activities for the kiddos. And while we love making things with glue, clay, and paint, it is fun for everyone to mix up the supplies that we use and the projects that we make, and homemade Unicorn Bubbles definitely does that!
Unicorn bubbles are always a hit with our kids and use the most simple ingredients that you probably have in your house right now! You can put them in a big tupperware inside or outside, or make it in the bathtub for a fun bath time with easy clean up!
Supplies needed to make Unicorn Bubbles
- Body wash or bubble bath
- Water
- Food Coloring
- Mixer or blender
How do you make Unicorn Bubbles?
If you can dump a few things in a blender (a mixer or food processor work too), you can make unicorn bubbles (also known as bubble foam)! Just dump, mix, and play!
This bubble foam is full of color, smells wonderful and the kids can’t get enough of playing with it! Add some toys to the mix and let your kids give them bubble beards and scrub them clean, or just let them enjoy the feeling of playing in foam!

Step 1: Add ingredients
Add 1/4 cup of body wash and 1/2 cup of water and a few drops of food coloring to the mixer or blender.
Step 2: Mix ingredients
Mix everything together on high speed until it forms stiff peaks (like whipped cream).
Step 3: Empty bubbles into container
Empty the bubbles in a large bin or empty bath tub. Repeat the process with different colors.
Step 4: Have fun with unicorn bubbles!
Let the kids mix and swirl (and basically wash their hands) like crazy! We added some figurines to the bubbles and the kids had so much fun.
Afterward, we put our bin in the shower and the kids rinsed all the toys and had another round of fun with the bubbles in the water.

will the kids skin get stained with the food coloring in the foam?
Nope! I think the soap counteracts the coloring!
