National Bubble Week – Ideas to Celebrate!

Did you know that it is National Bubble Week? I know with most of the country still suffering from below freezing temperatures it just doesn’t sound right. But check this out – Kansas is having a 60 degree weather all week! Not only that but bubbles are always a hit with my kids both inside and out!

So here are some ways to celebrate National Bubble Week!

1. First run to the store and pick up some bubbles – Gazillian Bubbles are my favorite! They make the biggest, brightest and most colorful bubbles!
2. Snag a few bubble making toys – bubble blowers, wands, and more!
3. Grab some kiddos (preferably your own LOL) and start bubbling! It won’t matter if you are inside or outside – bubbles are fun no matter where you are!
4. Try out some bubble tricks! How do bubbles work? Are bubbles always round? What happens to bubbles when you change the temperature? Try out some other bubble experiments, come back and share what you learned!

Bubble Machines you are sure to LOVE!

• Gazillion Bubble Monsoon Toy — create a skyward storm of bubbles instantly! Simply replace the cap on the bottle of bubble solution with the auto-feed cap (included), attach the solution bottle to the machine, press the button and watch in amazement as the sky fills with bubbles!
• Gazillion Bubble Typhoon— This machine may be small, but once you pour in Gazillion Bubbles solution, you’ll instantly see an endless flurry of bubbles with the Gazillion Bubbles Tornado!
• Gazillion Bump N Go Bubble Car Toy– Fuel the car with Gazillion Bubbles solution, turn the car on and watch as it drives around, blowing bubbles on the go! Don’t worry if it bumps into something, it will change direction and keep moving while a trail of bubbles follows in its path.

A few facts and experiments to share with your kiddos!

• A Bubble Gets Its Color From Iridescence: As waves of light pass through the bubble, it gets distorted by reflecting off different layers of soap film.
• You Can Freeze Bubbles: A bubble’s shell is composed of a layer of water molecules surrounded by two thin layers of soap. Technically, a bubble will freeze below 32 degrees Fahrenheit like all water. The only problem is that bubbles tend to burst after a few seconds, so in order to see a bubble freeze, the temperature needs to fall to a temperature that will freeze water molecules more quickly.
• Why Do Bubbles Burst?: Anything that fractures the tenuous layer of water molecules can cause a bubble to burst. For example, a gust of wind or an object (like your finger) will easily cause a bubble to burst. Also, a bubble will burst if enough of the water molecules evaporate.
• Many Bubbles Makes A Foam: When many bubbles are joined together, it becomes a foam.From cappuccinos to the foam on the top of your beer, bubbles are all around us.
