Bubbles for Babes
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Reviews on Friday, June 11, 2010 10:44 PM
When my kids are in my hair and I want them out of it, I’ve got a great solution.
“Hey kids!” I say. “Want to go outside and blow bubbles?”
They always say yes, so I send them out on the back deck and they play with their bubbles. Often they stay out there for most of an hour.
“But wait!” I can hear you protesting. “How can you let a one-year-old and a three-year-old play with bubbles by themselves? Doesn’t the bubble solution get spilled within minutes?”
Well, yes. That used to be the case. Until I discovered spill-proof bubbles.
My sister found them, actually: a little bottle for $1.99 at Target. She bought one for each of her boys and liked them immediately. The bottles are truly spill-proof; you can turn them upside down not a drop will come out. My sister was a fan, and so were her kids, who loved the fact that their mom would let them each hold their own bottle of bubbles.
When I saw them, I went out and bought bottles for each of my kids, too. I also bought a half-gallon jug of bubble solution for $3, so we’re set with bubbles for the summer.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find these particular spill-proof bubbles for sale online (and all the ones I did find were more expensive) but I took a picture of it with my hand for scale. (See above.) Hopefully you would be able to find something similar at a local store.
I highly recommend spill-proof bubbles for small children who can’t be trusted not to dump a bottle of regular bubbles. In the few hours of amusement my kids have already gotten from this product, I feel my $7 investment has already been well worth it.
