Bubbles are the ultimate summer activity. Inexpensive, outdoor fun to be celebrated with all ages! But I was getting so frustrated with the lame bubble solutions and mini wands I buy at the drugstore – the bubbles were tiny, our cheeks grew sore with blowing and we spent half our time fishing lost
wands out of the bottom of the bubble bottles. So we sought to review the ultimate Big Bubble Wand (www.bigbubblewands.com).
According to the manufacturers anyone can make giant bubbles with Majic Bubble Wands! Soft and flexible, the Majic Bubble Wand allows even young children to make tons of bubbles with a simple wave of the hand! Just dip the wand in the bubble solution (easy to make recipe included), and wave it around to fill the air with bubbles!
The Bubble Wands come with a large flat bubble solution tray so no fishing is necessary. The set comes with four 18 inch wand sticks and four wand heads in the shape of a flower, fish, turtle and heart. And rather than send you pre-packaged solution, the Bubble Wand folks share their secret bubble solution which was quick and easy to make with three ingredients I typically keep stocked in my kitchen. The large bubble solutions trays use a lot more solution than our typical bubble outings so I like being able to make a gallon at a time. I know it sounds like a lot but whipping it together in an old milk jug and keeping under my kitchen sink is easy.
The Bubble Wand folks were right on! Three adults and three kids ages 2-4 had a blast running around the grass making big bubbles. My daughter experimented with a two wand method she called the butterfly. My husband did scientific comparisons of the different bubbles created by the different shaped wand heads. I can’t wait to get outside again with our bubble wands.
Bubble Wands are made out of a heavy duty soft plastic called polypropylene. Unlike most plastics, it is soft and flexible, and is made to bend without breaking. To make sure you are satisfied with Bubble Wands, they offer a full lifetime guarantee on every single wand they sell. If it breaks, they will replace it hassle free. Bubble Wands are manufacture red by a Canadian, family-owned company since 1984.
You can purchase either the Family Bubble Kit ($19.99) or Double Kit Spring Special ($39.99) – 2 sets of wands, 2 bubble trays plus 2 extra wands on www.bigbubblewands.com

It was just last month when my three year old granddaughter finally got in the pool….she was scared all summer long. Once she got in, she enjoyed herself and we had a hard time getting her out.

My favorite memory of the summer was when I finally took my twin daughters (almost 2) down to the water’s edge at the beach! We live 2 miles from the coast and have been to the beach dozens of times but it’s been a really cool summer here so it took a while before it was finally warm enough to get our feet and legs in the ocean. Of course they loved it and won’t stop talking about it 🙂 I think the only thing they love as much as the ocean right now are bubbles…so thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite summer memory is the trip we took for Labor Day this year. It was my son’s first visit to a beach. I was worried he wouldn’t like the sand but he LOVED it and it was so cute watching him splash around in the lake. 🙂

We love Summer Sunday afternoons. We go to a friend’s house that has a pool.. We cook, the kid’s swim and we play water volleyball. These are great summer memories. However, this year our trip to family vacation to Panama City holds my favorite summer memories.

My favorite memory of this summer was one night after tucking my granddaughter into bed, I shut the light off and she saw a firefly that had entered her room. She had never seen one before and was fascinated at how it blinked on and off. She was so excited when it landed on her bed. I told her what it was. She asked if it could spend the night in her room and she would let it free in the morning. She called it a present from God – her own special night light. She is such a joy! 🙂

My favorite memories from this summer will be watching my toddler grandson start to learn about the outdoors. However, he is definitely starting to be a little scary since he is very adventurous and has already tried to climb the trees, fence, etc.
