Make Science Bounce—Literally!
Discover the awe and wonder of hands-on science with our Super Bouncing Bubble Kit. Specially designed for young scientists and bubble lovers, this STEM-inspired kit turns everyday play into an exciting scientific adventure.
🔬 What’s Inside the Kit?
Everything you need to start your bouncing bubble experiments right away:
-
50ml Super Bouncing Bubble Solution
-
2 Magic Gloves (so you can catch and bounce bubbles)
-
1 Bubble Blower
-
1 30ml Mixing Cup
-
Step-by-step Instructions
🧪 How to Make Bouncing Bubbles:
-
Open the bubble solution and carefully remove the seal.
-
Pour the bubble solution into the small plastic cup.
-
Slip on your magic glove.
-
Dip the wide end of the bubble blower into the solution.
-
Gently blow a large, tennis-ball-sized bubble – with the blower pointing downwards.
- Raise your hand.
-
Flick the bubble into the air and catch it with your gloved hand.
-
Can you make it bounce? Try again and again!
-
Now bounce it from hand to hand – You are officially a Bubble Juggler!
👩🔬 Let’s Investigate:
Encourage scientific thinking with these bubble-based challenges:
-
How many times can your bubble bounce before it pops?
-
Does bubble size affect bounceability?
-
What happens if you blow harder or softer?
-
Can you bounce a bubble on wool, cotton, or rubber gloves?
-
Which surface works best for bouncing?
Perfect for solo play or family fun, this activity builds skills in observation, prediction, and experimentation—all while having a blast!

🧼 Safety First!
Recommended: Young children should wear safety goggles when playing with bubble solution to prevent soap splashes in their eyes.
If a bubble bursts in the eye:
-
Rinse immediately with lukewarm water using a clean jug or shower stream.
-
Young children may be wrapped in a towel for comfort during rinsing.
⚠️ Warning: Bubble solution may cause slippery surfaces. Clean up spills right away to prevent accidents.
