Kevin Albert, our beeboo ambassador in San Francisco, loves using a hoop style wand to blow his big bubbles.
As you know, we love our two handled wand and successfully used that style to set our big bubble World Record. But that’s not the only type of wand that works well with beeboo big bubble solution!
Kevin has told us that he believes bubbles blown with a hoop last longer than bubbles blown with a string-based wand (like our two handled design). I’m not sure about this, but there may be some truth to what he observes with hoop bubbles lasting longer. In my research I discovered the wobbling cotton wick does transfer “wobbly” energy to the bubble surface. What do you think – we’d love to hear your feedback!
Experiment yourself and let us know what you think. Here’s a link to Kevin’s favored hoop wand. This one is definitely higher quality than many others you’ll find on the market. http://tangenttoys.stores.yahoo.net/newmegabubbles.html

We’d like to take a moment to tell you about our pride & joy – our flagship bubble products. These are the products that launched Extreme Bubbles as a company. We invented this powerful bubble solution and used it to set the first World Record for free floating soap bubble. And, we used our favorite wand design, the “two-handled wand” to set that record!
beeboo Big Bubble Mix
beeboo® is our flagship bubble solution product. It is our pride & joy: a specially formulated, very high quality bubble solution that reliably blows really big bubbles. This robust formula can be used with any big bubble wand or bubble machine – it creates more and bigger bubbles than any other bubble solution on the market. The beeboo formula is top secret, and is what we used to set the first World Record for largest free floating soap bubble.
We sell this solution in a concentrate – one 16oz bottle mixes up to create a full gallon of big bubble solution. This solution has also been used by well known Vegas shows and in Grammy nominated pop artist concerts because it is truly the best & most reliable big bubble solution! 
beeboo Pro Wand & Starter Wand
These two wands are our best selling big bubble wand products. They are constructed using the “two handled” design, which is the wand design that has been used to set every big bubble record in the last 25 years. There are two wooden handles connected by loop of super absorbent cotton wick.
We’ve done a lot of research and have specially sourced this high quality cotton wick because it has by far the best performance in terms of absorbing lots of bubble solution, holding it longer, and allowing you to blow more & bigger bubbles with each dip.
The Pro Wand’s loop is a full seven feet, to blow the biggest bubbles. The Starter Wand is slightly smaller scale, to make it easier for younger kids to blow big bubbles.

Most bubble refills, you know the kind from the Drugstore, that comes in a big brightly colored plastic jug don’t work that well. Plain and simple, they’re very cheap and it shows. The low quality formulas make bubbles that pop quickly (or barely bubble at all).
Our bubble solution products are the polar opposite. We’re a small family run company, everything is made in the USA, and everything we make is of the absolute highest quality.
And best of all? Our pricing is great too. Four Gallons of bubble solution is only $30, or one gallon for $10.99g
beeboo Big Bubble solution is the best bubble refill solution available for just about any bubble machine or toy out there. Give us a try – our premium formula creates robust, colorful, hearty bubbles that will blow the cheapo drugstore solution out of the water!
Four Gallons of bubble solution is only $30!
beeboo solution refills are sold via a 4 pack of concentrate. Check it out in our store, here: http://www.extremebubbles.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=21
Or, if you’d like to start slow, one gallon of beeboo Big Bubble Mix is $10.99. Also available in our store, here: http://www.extremebubbles.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=20

Fourth of July is the perfect time to take advantage of the bright hot days of summer and celebrate outside with family and friends.
We’ve rounded up our top 5 favorite things to do outside in the backyard or park to celebrate the fourth!
1. Play Croquet
Easy to set up, and fun for kids and adults alike. A great game to play while you sip a drink, and plenty of downtime to rest in the shade between turns. Instructions on how to set up & play the game can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Croquet
You could even get a tournament going and award a prize to the winner. Might we suggest our DipStix Grab & Go Big Bubble Kit as the prize?
2. Blow Big Bubbles
Blow bubbles at sunset as you wait for the fireworks to start. Marvel at them, chase them, pop them, and maybe even test out making blue and red bubbles with a few drops of food coloring! Play some of our favorite bubble games, and don’t forget to review our 11 secrets for blowing huge bubbles.
We recommend beeboo Big Bubble Mix for the most amazing big bubbles, together with our two-handled big bubble wands. Or, buy a complete kit with everything you need to get the whole family blowing big bubbles!
3. Musical Chairs
Put all those lawn chairs to good use, and pump up the music to get this game started. If you don’t remember the rules, refresh your memory over at wikipedia.
4. Eat Fourth of July colored popsicles
Make them yourself (great recipe here), or buy the traditional Rocket Pops. The perfect treat to relax eat outside.
5. Sparkler Games
Here’s a fun one: set your camera on a slow shutter speed (or use the video function) then take turns trying to write your name, words, and shapes with your sparkler while capturing it on film!

This article came up with lots of games I’ve never heard of. Drag the Body? a sort of race where you drag your friend across the yard on an old blanket as fast as you can. Sounds entertaining to me!

One kid is in charge of turning the water on and off and tries to entrap & soak the others!
