Just add glycerin (non-toxic and has a sweet taste, so it’s actualy used as a food additive sweetener) to the dish soap. The glycerin is viscous enough that it gives surface tension to the dish soap and keeps them intact. (And boom! Just dropped some physics on y’all. 😀 )
Then fashion a huge wand with 18- or 16-gauge wire (Michaels, AC Moore, and Hobby Lobby carries non-tarnish coloured copper wire for jewelry–wire-wrapping is my jewelry specialty and I used to teach jewelry-making classes on how to use it), wrap it with any kind of low-tack tape (Washi tapes, decorative masking tape [3M makes great colours and they’re all also non-toxic so you won’t transfer anything to the solution], and fabric tapes all work great and look pretty, too), and you’re set.
Mix the solution in some kind of pan with low sides, like an aluminum roasting pan, or cookie sheet, or just give the handle a bend with at least a 45-degree angle, and then blow away! I found Catnip bubbles for my four slackass feline studio assistants, but they also loved the original bubbles. The look on their faces when they think they’ve caught one in their mouths, only to have it disappear on them is priceless. Works that way with Cotton Candy, too. 😉
Then take video of them trying to catch them. 🙂 <3 <3 <3

That is so silly! Oh Foxie, you make me laugh — blowing raspberries and bubbles. And where oh where was Missy going with the blue pail of bubbles?!
You should see what they do with real bubbles.
