Crayola Colored Bubbles ~ DON'T buy them

[foggierbard9]

My mom was thinking of getting some for the kids to use at her house this summer. I told her to just get regular bubbles, no staining of anything is going to happen.

I don't know... I find it a little tempting for those kids who are little demons, but you can't punish them yourself because you aren't their parent... I think it could make a humerous birthday gift in those situations. Or my cousin who has 5 children that I buy Christmas gifts for every year when she can't even find the decency to speak to me, much less buy my 2 kids anything... that may be a suitable idea too. What can I say, I can be evil.

My concrete is stained green from the Crayola chalk paint. Ya know, the stuff that comes with the colorwonder 3D chalk. It's been on almost a year, through snow and everything..it ain't coming off......

They are totally goopy and hard to actually make bubbles with, so I mixed them with regular bubbles, half the colored and half the regular bubbles. They didn't stain my kids clothes or hands, although they were all wearing light colors and got the bubbles all over themselves, so maybe mixing the two helped that? Not sure? And the wipes helped get the colors off their hands and then a bath later got the color off their hands and legs.

Also, they poured some of the straight color bubbles on the concrete, and it came off with the first rain.

Good to know diluting them helps, thanks for the tip

i got my three year old nephew the set that came with all the chalk for easter using the coupons that came in the paper and lets just say i have a little logic problem for u
what do u get when u take one three year old little boy + one bottle of crayola green bubbles + one black and white boston terrier?

the answer is one green black and white dog he has it all over is neck its faded now after a couple of baths but its still there when i first saw it on him when i got home from work i was like what in the world is on his neck but now i have a lucky charms dog so i wont be buying those bubbles again unless i want to use them on my evil neighbors

There is a regional cable news channel that tries out all sorts of things and reviews them, and the colored bubbles were one them. My kids aren't little anymore, but oh what a mess! The kids had it all over their hands, their clothes, the concrete, etc. Good to know as I sure wouldn't want to buy them for a gift either.

For anyone in New England, it's a regular feature on NECN. So many things I've considered buying or wondered about, so it's really helpful. I wish I had seen them review one hair product I bought before I did (3 day hair straightener from Paul Freida.) Way expensive and I think they gave it a D. I agree! :P
