Family days / a JumboBubbles activity guide

Bring the generations together, one giant bubble at a time

Give your next family gathering an outdoor focal point. Offer a clear way to join in, plenty of room to watch, and a comfortable rhythm for different interests.

Bring these along

Kit chosen by active equipment users, plus all current instructions
Customer-supplied water, dish soap and suitable mixing and dipping containers
A separate comfortable watching area, cleanup supplies and adult helpers

Invite participation in more than one way

Some relatives want a turn making bubbles; others would love a seat with a view. Set out a clear watching area with an easy route from the house or picnic base. Keep that route away from containers and wand movements. Ask who would enjoy helping with setup, supervising turns or taking photographs. Make watching a welcome choice rather than expecting everyone to use the equipment.

Choose equipment by the working space

Count the people you can comfortably equip and supervise at once. The Original Kit supplies one set and five pouches, the Double Pack two sets and ten pouches, and the Camp Pack ten sets and fifty pouches. The Camp Pack arrives in one large box. Its ten sets give you options; they do not require ten stations, and the pouch count is not the number of simultaneous equipment users.

BubbleStix giant bubbles enjoyed outdoors — BubbleStix in use. Plan a separate clear space for each active set.

Give each active station its own room

Place stable containers with clear movement space around them. Keep pathways between the activity and the watching area easy to see. Assign adult supervision before the group starts. If the space is smaller than expected, open fewer stations and rotate the family through them. No person should have to cross another bubble maker’s path to reach a container.

Share one demonstration, then enjoy the variations

Prepare BubbleStix Bubble Mix with 1 gallon of water as directed on the current pouch, including its dish-soap requirement. Completely submerge the ropes, lift high with the sticks together, then open wide with the breeze behind you. In still air, walk backwards slowly along a clear path. Let each person learn that sequence at their own pace while others enjoy the drifting shapes from outside the working area.

Keep the ending as relaxed as the beginning

Pause for meals with the equipment safely set aside. Recheck conditions and space before returning. At the end, collect every set, attend to slippery spills and follow the supplied care and storage directions. If relatives want a kit of their own, choose it by the way they will play at home, rather than the size of this one gathering.

The kit for this plan

A Camp Pack supplies ten complete sets and fifty pouches for a larger supervised gathering. Use fewer stations when space or adult supervision calls for it. An Original Kit or Double Pack also works for a family taking turns.
