Bubbles- any recommended toys?

Thinking of doing a bubble b-day party.

Thanks!

How about one of those automated bubble blowers? So that way you can have a constant stream of bubbles.

Here is one...

Our neighbor has an automated one, as well, but it requires someone to pull down the lever and let the bubbles blow. Then you release it to get more solution. I think the toddlers like that more because they can interact with it and "make" it blow bubbles, as opposed to one that is automated with a touch of a button. They got theirs at either Walmart or Target.

(It also depends on the age of the children as to which one might be better!)

Thank you! I think what you are talking about is My First Bubble Blower and I think that will be his 'gift' from us.

I love the Gymboree bubbles. They sell some in the gymboree clothing stores or at their play & music centers.

This is a fantastic theme. I can just picture it - a few dozen clear balloons floating around like unpopped bubbles and tied with that irridescent ribbon to look like soap rainbows.
How about some individual spill proof bubble tumblers for the littler kids. These can get expensive but I bought a bunch of real little ones at Target for 1.99 each and gave them out as party favors at my daughter's 2nd birthday.
Maybe a couple of bubble guns for the in between kids and a couple of those giant bubble wands for the older kids.
And if it is going to be outside, my 2 year old likes to catch the bubbles with a butterfly net which we call our "bubble catcher". Also, it if is outside and you have a water table, you could fill it with bath bubbles.
Good luck. Sounds like fun!

Wanted to thow in another vote for the Gymboree bubbles. I took DD to her first Gymbo class this week and all the kids went nuts for the bubbles. They seem to last really long even after they "land" and everyone had so much fun when the instructor was blowing bubbles around the room.
