Blowing Bubbles

by Marie on April 4, 2008

When it’s warm out, but still too cold for water balloons and kiddie pools, what are we going to do? Blow Bubbles. My kids can blow bubbles for hours out on the front steps. I sit back in my chair and watch the circular shapes float and pop in the air. Here are a few of our favorite bubble blowing products.

This Bubble Bucket really doesn’t spill over when it gets tipped and it is very easy for the kids to use. There is a little bit of splatter as they pull out the wand, but no biggie. We also have a smaller bubble bucket that is equally as great, but doesn’t create as big of bubbles.

The Bubble Gun is great, as you don’t get out of breath blowing tons of bubbles. You do have to be careful how you store this gun. It must remain standing up or the bubble solution gets inside the gears and doesn’t work.

Fan Yang creates a fog bubble.

I am trying to perfect my Fog Bubbles to beat Fan Yang as a World Record holder. Bubble magic is so amazing and could easily be my new hobby.

Love Bubbles! I have a gun that my little 2 and 3 year olds in the church nursery just love. I use it to shoot lots of tiny bubbles that they try to catch on their tongues (thankfully they usually miss) and they like to blow them back up into the air. I remove the bottle of bubbles and run clear water through until no more bubbles come out before storing it each week. When it’s warmer, I want to try making huge bubbles with a clothes hanger outside. Fun stuff.

O ya. I talked about this last month on my blog. Bubbles are the BEST!!! And it’s almost relaxing to watch bubbles. And to blow them. A day hasn’t passed when my 2 year old has not gotten out the bubbles for a bit of fun!!

We love bubbles around my house too. A big thumbs up to who ever invented the no-spill bubble containers!

I’m totally going to get that bucket of bubbles. Naomi is obsessed with bubbles right now.

Great idea. I haven’t thought about bubbles yet this year! I’m always looking for more things to do at this time of year!

We’re a huge fan of the bubble gun – Mack used it almost every day last summer!

Yeah for Bubbles. Thanks for all the great comments. You can never have enough bubbles. Now I am just waiting for this little snow drift to pass, so we can go back outside and bubble things up again!
