What Makes Touchable & Bouncy Bubbles Work?

Blow gently down through the tube to form a perfect bubble — ready to bounce or catch!

1. The Bubble Sandwich!

Every bubble is a stretchy sandwich made of soap–water–soap. This delicate film traps air inside, thanks to something called surface tension. Soap weakens the water’s grip just

enough to let it stretch and flex into a bubble without bursting straight away.

To make these bubbles super strong, we add clever ingredients like xanthan gum (included in your kit!). This special powder slows down how quickly the water evaporates and makes the bubble film much more elastic — perfect for creating bubbles you can catch and bounce!

2. Keeping Bubbles Alive for Longer

Bubbles usually pop because their water disappears into the air (especially on warm or windy days). That’s why we include a pH adjuster (baking powder) and bubble-strengthening agents in our kit — they work together to slow evaporation and give you more time to play.

You’ll notice: stronger solution = longer-lasting bubbles. That’s when the real bubble tricks begin!

3. Bounce Them? Yes, You Can!

Normally, bubbles pop when they touch skin because of oils, dust, and

rough surfaces. But our magic gloves act like a soft landing pad — they protect the bubble and let you catch it, balance it, even bounce it!

The gloves reduce friction and stop anything nasty from breaking the bubble’s delicate surface. Clean, dry, and magical — they’re a bubble’s best friend!

4. What Makes Touchable Bubbles So Special?

Unlike ordinary bubbles, Touchable Bubbles are made with a pinch of polymer science! Inside each test-tube is a special bubble solution containing a safe, water-soluble plastic.

How many bubbles can you stack?

When you blow a bubble, the water in the film starts to evaporate — and here’s the clever bit: this leaves behind a super-light plastic shell that can float, hover, and even be caught and stacked without bursting!

That’s why you might see a delay before you can touch them — they need a second or two to “set” in the air. And when they do, you can blow hundreds and play with them like never before!

Use them with your magic gloves or the Wandarama stick to really show off your bubble-balancing powers!

Giant fun. Real science. Endless wonder.
Unleash your child’s bubbling brilliance – and enjoy hours of indoor and outdoor bubble fun!

• 200 ml Audran Pure Glycerin

Usual uses for glycerin

Glycerin is used in many industries, including skin care, hair care and oral hygiene .. in fact, glycerin is the third most-used ingredient in the cosmetic industry after water and fragrance!

Why?

Glycerin is widely regarded as the most effective humectant. Humectants are water-absorbing substances that help keep things moist. This property of glycerine helps retain moisture in the skin and ……. slows down the process of water evaporation in bubbles!

A snippet from our teaching notes

Bromocresol green is a dye used as a pH indicator for many biological experiments.

Bromocresol green colour chart

A pH indicator is a chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the solution can be seen. The pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydrogen ions (H+). The indicators change the colour of the solution depending on the pH. Some indicators only have 2 colour changes; Litmus (a solution of different dyes made from lichen)  is red in acid or blue in alkaline solutions.

Typical indicators are phenolphthalein, methyl orange, methyl red, bromothymol blue, and thymol blue. They each change colour at different points on the pH scale, and can be used together as a universal indicator.

Bromocresol green is yellow in solutions with pH values less than 3.8; green for pH values between 3.8 and 5.4 and blue for solutions with a pH value above 5.4.

Why does the bath water always turn the bubble bath blue?

The pH of pure water is 7, any solution with a pH less than 7 is considered to be acidic, and with a pH above 7 considered alkaline. However, tap water can have a pH value between 6.5 and 8.5. For all liquids which have a pH value greater that 5.4 the bromocresol green indicator in the soap will always turn a blue colour.

Our Safari Bubble Blowers are a Fantastic Science Gift

There are 5 safari bubble blowers and these animals need to get bubble food frequently. Fill the bubble liquid into the tray and dip the bubble ring into the liquid. After taking it out again squeeze the safari animal to get them to blow small bubbles. This is their way of saying thank you for feeding them.

Pustefix means soap bubbles in German and these Pustefix bubbles are hands down the best on the market. Pustefix got its start after World War II, when the company’s namesake, Rolf Hein, a chemist and entrepreneur, experimented with soap-bubble mixtures until he hit upon the perfect solution. That blend, still used today, is non-toxic and bio-degradable – and results in gorgeous streams of shimmering, long-lasting bubbles.

These wonderful safari bubble blowers are used in our Science of Bubbles Show.

Warning!: Not suitable for children under 36 months – Contains small parts.
