Bubble Activities for the Garden
Bubbles are one of the best garden activities for the kids. Little pots of bubbles with wands can keep little kids busy for hours! We’ve been reviewing a Gazillion Bubble Megablaster which is great for making huge, colourful bubbles but also is good for toddlers who find it tricky to blow bubbles without spilling all the liquid everywhere. Our three year old loved using the megablaster to make the large bubbles and sending them over to the neighbours garden! To make really giant bubbles, we tried the GIANT GAZILLION INCREDIBUBBLE WAND. We’ve tried to create large bubbles before but the kids struggled to get the angle right. The incredibubble wand makes it easy because it comes with a tray that you fill with solution. Dip the wand into the specially formulated GIANT bubble solution and wave to make massive incredibubbles! You can also use the Gazillion Bubble Tornado Machine to create a bubble storm that’s perfect for parties! This ultimate bubble machine blows 4500 bubbles per minute at the push of a button! It’s less messy than some bubble machines I’ve tried as you simply attach the solution bottle to the bubble machine. The bubbles are all non-toxic and all Gazillion products can be purchased from Tesco, Funrise Website or from Amazon (see below) *Affiliate Links*
