How to Blow Bubbles

There is something peaceful about watching bubbles move gracefully through the air. Children and adults enjoy this activity and include it in many celebrations. Bubbles bring amusement to a birthday party and more sunshine to summertime. They celebrate wedding ceremonies with the bride and groom, and put a smile on everyone's face. Today there is a lot more to blowing bubbles than in the past. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

1. Buy non-toxic bubbles. Chemicals in the bubbles can be harmful if swallowed, especially for children. It is easy to accidentally inhale the soapy mixture. Purchase non-toxic bubbles and eliminate the worry.

2. Find your favorite flavor. Today bubbles come in a variety of flavors. Cherry, bubblegum, grape, lemon and strawberry are just a few to mention. Decadent chocolate will temp your taste buds; but don't drink the bubbles even if they are non-toxic.

3. Select your silly shape. Bubbles come in different shapes and containers. They even come inside Spiderman, Barbie and Disney characters. Add more zest to your lemon bubbles with ice cream cone shapes for a summertime birthday party. Bubbles that come inside the shape of wedding bells help "ring" in the celebration.

4. Choose your crazy blower. Bubbles can be delivered electronically by adorable animals that open their mouth and out come tiny bubbles. There is also a giant Frisbee dish with a magical oversized wand to blow enormous bubbles. Use whatever floats your bubble.

5. Keep bubbles outside. Don't use your bubbles inside the house. If they spill, the soapy residue is slippery on the floor.

6. Learn how to blow bubbles if you are using the manual method. Inhale and put the wand about one inch away from your mouth. Gently and slowly exhale as you watch the little circles float away. Another way to make bubbles is to wave the wand through the air on a windy day.

7. Play with the bubbles. Children enjoy chasing the bubbles. Make a game out of it and see who can get the bubble back on the wand. Whoever does it first without popping it is the winner. Enjoy blowing bubbles and make it as exciting as you wish or as peaceful as watching a sunset. Now get to blowing and find your favorite bubbles.

Tips & Warnings

• Make your own bubbles. Use one and a half tablespoons of non-toxic dishwashing liquid and two cups of water.
