Disclosure: we were given these toys for the purposes of this review, but all words and opinions are my own.
Is there a single person out there who doesn’t crack a smile when they see bubbles?!
I don’t really know what it is about them, but everyone from tiny babies to the biggest of kids seems to love them. I know that seeing a load of shiny bubbles floating past always makes me feel really happy!
And the way things are at the moment we could all use an extra bit of fun and happiness while we keep safe at home. So we were all thrilled when we were sent a bundle of goodies from Gazillion Bubbles to play with.
Gazillion Bubbles have got a great range of bubble-based toys to choose from, and they are all so much fun. Perfect for keeping the children entertained at home, especially when the weather is this nice and we can all be out in the garden.
We were sent the Gazillion Bubbles tornado machine, the Megabubble blaster, the Incredibubble wand and 2l bottle of giant bubble solution.
The first thing we took out for a spin was the big bottle of bubble solution.
You can see quite how big this bottle is when Nerys is holding it!
It comes with a giant bubble wand that is amazing for creating plenty of bubbles. Nerys had a go blowing through the wand, and then waving it in the air to see how many bubbles she could make.
It was lovely and sunny but also quite windy on the day we went out to take these photos, so waving the bubble wand in the air was definitely the best way to create a brilliant amount of bubbles.
They’re a lovely big size too, perfect for running after and trying to pop!
After the classic fun of the big bubble wand we stepped things up a bit by bringing out the Megabubble Blaster.
You need to put 3 AA batteries in (not included), then push the bottle of bubble mixture that’s provided into the bottom of the blaster, then you’re good to go.
Nerys had a go first and, as you can see from the photos, she took her job as tester quite seriously. It took a few minutes for the mixture to start coming through properly, but before long we were off, with bubbles galore.
The bubbles that the blaster produces are also nice and big, and you can get them to come out in a nice steady stream once you get the hang of it.
I got to have a turn before too long and it was a great way to make lots of bubbles for Nerys to chase without having to keep dipping a wand into a bottle of solution.
When you really want to go all out though, and create tons and tons of bubbles, then the Gazillion Bubbles tornado machine is the answer.
The machine itself is actually smaller than I thought it might be, but it definitely lives up to its name, creating a shiny storm of bubbles when you turn it on.
It needs 4 AA batteries (not included) to power it, but doesn’t require much setting up once you’ve popped those in.
Once it gets going the tornado machine creates around 4500 bubbles a minute and it is so much fun watching them all appear and float around. The bubbles from this machine are smaller than the others, more like the kinds of bubbles you’d normally get when you blow them yourself with a little wand.
If you want to go the other way and create some truly huge bubbles, then the Incredibubble wand is what you need.
This is really simple to use, just assemble the wand, pour the bubble solution into the dish, dip and wave the wand to create big bubbles.
We’ve been having so much fun with all these different toys from Gazillion bubbles. With it looking like the children could be home from school for a fair while yet, I’m loving having them on hand to keep us all happy and entertained.
I hope that with things like this on hand we can create some fun memories for the children to have from this really bizarre time in their childhoods.
You can find all these toys from Gazillion Bubbles at Tesco when you go and do your food shopping, or you can pop them in your online basket if you’re able to get a delivery slot.
