If you have ever been the designated bubble blower for your kids, you know it’s a workout for your lungs. Kids never get tired of popping bubbles! Mine would have me sit there blowing bubbles for hours (or until I passed out from lack of oxygen.) Can you relate?
Lucky for us, a creative parent decided to save our breath and invented a bubble blower machine. Our bubble maker is one of our favorite toys ever! It provides endless bubbles for my kids. All I have to do is keep it filled with bubble solution and batteries. I can handle that!
We turn on the bubbles for hours of active play.
A bubble blowing toy is something children of all ages can enjoy. Even babies are mesmerized by bubbles floating by! My 3- and 5-year-old boys love to pop bubbles, and we have several simple games we play.
Bubbles can be a fun way to get kids active, teach them simple skills and use their imaginations. A few of our favorite bubble games are:
Bubble Clap and Pop ABC and 123 Game
Have your child pop the bubbles by clapping their hands. Every time they clap a bubble, say a letter of the ABCs. Try to get all the way to Z! Learn to count the bubbles 1, 2, 3 as you clap and pop each one.
Bubble Stomp
This is a fun one. Kids can only pop bubbles with their feet! Have them stomp bubbles on the ground.
Musical Bubbles
Play music while the bubbles are blowing. Let your child pretend to be a bubble, and float fast or slow depending on the music’s tempo.
Flyswatter Bubbles
Give each child a flyswatter and let them swat away at the bubbles!

Bubbles are always a very affordable treat for not only kids but pets as well. Our little 6 pound Pomeranian loves chasing and popping bubbles.
Nicole says
Hi Dee! That is so cute about your little Pom liking to chase and pop bubbles. Maybe she needs a bubble machine! 🙂

My kids would have loved this when they were little. One of their favorite activities was blowing bubbles. I always made sure we had plenty of bubble soap on hand, too!
Jenny Temcio says
My favorite was just to see who could blow the biggest bubble. I always loved those huge wands that would make the really big bubbles!
Donna Ward says
I would have loved this as a kid! For some reason bubbles were my fav – my son didn’t get into bubbles – Loving that machine and the fun ideas!
Lori Felix says
I don’t have a bubble maker but wish I had one when my daughter was little. I use Duracell batteries in my flashlights.
Ann Bacciaglia says
These are fantastic ideas for playing with bubbles. I will have to tell my friend about these. Her kids are obsessed with bubbles.

I used to have one of those bubble blowers. They’re awesome. So much fun for the kids.

We had the best time on our first day of summer vacation simply with a bubble gun operated by batteries. So. Much. Fun!
