Bubble Solution

Combine:
1/3 cup dish soap or baby shampoo
1 1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar (or corn syrup)
1 drop food coloring (optional - not recommended for indoor use)
Pour into unbreakable bottle or bowl.
To blow bubbles, experiment using plastic straws, pipe cleaners or bread ties formed into loops, slotted spoons, anything from your recycle bin that has a hole or holes in it. Even a loop of yarn or rope can be used - and some pretty amazing large bubbles can be achieved with the right creative efforts.

Notes:  The sugar makes the bubbles last longer.  Some dish soaps are more bubble friendly than others, - many recommend Dawn, but your mileage may vary. Try brands that are more highly concentrated, or decrease the amount of water used in your mix.
Add glycerin to make bubbles with a bit more staying power.
