It’s summer time. Kids and families are outside (hopefully) enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather. I hope kids are outside enjoying the simple pleasures in life and not sitting in front of the television and/or playing video games.
By the simple pleasures in life, I am referring to things that mostly everyone has experienced in their childhood such as riding bikes, coloring the sidewalk in chalk masterpieces, swimming, going on picnics with your family, and catching Fireflies/Lightening Bugs at night. Another fun activity for kids of all ages, including “big kids” such as myself, is blowing bubbles.
Back in the day my mom would buy those little bottles of bubbles. When the bubbles solution was all gone she would make more out of water and dish soap. Fast forward to today and even something as simple as bubbles have found ways to be “new and improved.”
I recently went to a family reunion where my little cousins got to enjoy some fun bubble products I was sent to review. They all come from the brand South Beach Bubbles. If your family loves bubbles, this is the brand to shop from.
WOWmazing Powder Kit
This is a FUN kit for all ages. My littlest cousin (not yet two) up to adults were amazed at just how HUGE some of the bubbles are from this kit.
This kit comes with a pair of “wands” linked together with a rope. It also comes with packets of powdered bubble concentrate. The bubbles are safe, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable.
You will need a cup of detergent to mix with the powdered concentrate. I made the mistake of trying to make bubbles without adding the detergent and it didn’t work. Once I added the detergent and mixed it all up we had bubbles galore.
The concentrated mix helps the bubbles be HUGE in size, and I do mean HUGE.
It takes a little practice, but once you get the knack of it, it’s super easy. It’s even better if there is a bit of a breeze. That helps to create even bigger bubbles, in my opinion. However a breeze is certainly NOT necessary.
This bubble making kit does say it’s for ages 6-9, but trust me, us adults were wowed over these bubbles too, and some adults at our reunion wanted to try it for themselves.
Keeping the age in mind, my little cousins are younger than this age, but I wanted to show you just how easy it is to use this kit to make huge bubbles. My cousins had adult supervision the entire time. Try telling a toddler he can’t try to make bubbles… it’s easier said than done (ha ha).
I blurred out the faces for privacy.
One of the pictures is not the best quality (it’s a screen shot from a video that was taken) but I included it so you can see just how HUGE these bubbles can be.
I used a small plastic box to put the solution in. Its the perfect size for this activity.
This was a huge hit and I’ll be sure to bring it back next summer for our 2026 Family Reunion.
PoppinColorz Hydra 2-in-1 Blaster
The PoppinColorz Hydra 2-in-1 Blaster is the winner of the Outdoor Toy of the Year (TOTY) in 2025! I can see why after having the chance to play with it.
This toy is part water blaster and part bubble blaster. It comes with three packs of clear bubble solution, a package of pink bubble solution and a package of blue bubble solution. Yes, you read that right – pink and blue bubbles. This might be fun for a baby shower.
There are two triggers for this two in one blaster. The top trigger is for the water gun and the bottom trigger is for the bubbles. And when I say bubbles, I mean BUBBLES.
It comes with a rechargeable battery. It’s a USB charged battery, and you’ll need one of those cubes in order to charge it. Thankfully we have several cubes lying around.
The top of the blaster you’ll find the water reservoir. On the bottom is a little container that screws on/off that is meant for the bubble solution.
As for the colored bubble solutions, I was a bit skeptical that, but I am here to say YES! The bubbles are colored.
The blue bubbles are very blue while the pink are a bit lighter, but still obviously pink.
The great thing about this special colored bubble solution is that the bubbles WON’T STAIN. That was my #1 concern, especially not knowing if my little cousins would have blue or pink round stains on their clothing if they came in contact with the bubbles. This bubble solution is non-toxic bubbles wash off easily.
The great thing about this blaster is that kids don’t need to dip the blaster into a solution to enjoy. The bubbles and the water are contained within the one product.
I had control over this because I didn’t want the little ones to shoot anyone in the face with the water or bubbles. There are photos and a brief video of these bubbles in action, I’m just waiting to get that from my cousin.
This product is for ages 6+, and I would have to agree with that. Perhaps a 4-5 year old can use it as long as they don’t spray anyone in the face.
What I love about the bubbles in this blaster is that they are small in size, but an abundance of them. There was a slight breeze the day of the reunion, so the bubbles flew everywhere. It was like it was raining bubbles.
The above is a photo of my husband after he added the water and bubble solution. You can see the kids in the background were still playing with the bubble kit while the blaster was getting ready.
I will upload the video as soon as I can get a hold of it.
Disregard the green bottle of bubbles on the table. Those are not from South Beach Bubbles. My son had them in his car (him and his friends were blowing bubbles at the beach). He said to use that solution should we run out. Nope… that was not going to happen. Why you might ask, because I also received to review the following…
Bubble Solution Refill with Dispenser
This bubble refill dispenser makes a whopping one gallon of bubble solution. All you need to do is add a gallon of water. I had specifically purchased a gallon of water so that I knew I was adding the correct amount seeing as how we were at a state park and I had no way of measuring it otherwise.
The bubble dispenser comes with a really long detachable bubble wand too.
You can use this solution to refill bottles of bubbles or other toys that use a bubble mix.
You don’t have to use this all up at one time (ours disappeared the same day). I’m sure you can hold on to any remaining solution to be used another time.
This is A LOT easier and cheaper than having to buy other bottles of bubbles or stop every few minutes to make more bubbles.
South Beach Bubbles has other fun bubble related products, as well as additional bubble solutions.
If you would like to learn more, visit SouthBeachBubbles.com.
You can also check them out on social media. All their links are found on the bottom of their website.
These would make a great gift, as well as something fun to bring with you camping, picnicking and even just ordinary backyard fun. They even sell bubble party kits for multiple people.
You can purchase products on the brand’s website. They can also be found at other retailers, such as Amazon.
