Crayola Colored Bubbles ~ DON'T buy them

[5swans0805]

I am so irritated right now! I bought the Crayola colored bubble blower thing! DON'T buy it.

My boys were using it outside, and some neighbor kids came over and really no ones fault, but the color fell off the table and onto the concrete. Well, we now have blue concrete! Believe me, I am e-mailing Crayola! My neighbor's daughter shirt and shoes are still blue. I have a blue toe, and my son's jean shorts are now paint shorts.

Just want everyone to know - don't buy them!!!

I thought seriously, Crayola ~ you made something for kids that stains!!!!

Just don't buy them!!!! If you have them, and they aren't open, don't open them!!!!!!!!

Oooh, I read a review on Yahoo news about them, and they said don't buy them! My boys have been asking for them, but no WAY am I going to do that! I suppose the upside is that it was concrete, and not your carpet! Good luck! I hope your stains come out!

DH and I saw the commerical for that a few days ago and the first thing Dh said was, "I bet those things stain bad." Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. I thought about getting some for the kids but not now.

I agree! I bought the green kind, and it's completely goopy. Every time you pull the bubble wand out, it drips goo everywhere.

My daughter touched the white trim of our back door with the green on her hands, and it stayed there for a long time! Blech.

I'm sorry your all blue. But the blue toe thats funny. lol I saw the commercial for those and they said really fast at the end (disclaimer) that it may stain. I was like Oh cool bubbles untill i heard that. My sil had some crayola window crayons and those things stain Bad!

Someone gave my kids some of the green ones. It came right off their skin with baby wipes, and it came out of their clothes with stain treatment and one wash. That being said, I won't buy them myself. You have to be right there to catch the drips and wipe off skin right away plus stain treatment on the clothes to get them out. It's too much work for colored bubbles, IMHO.

Yeah, my little one was given some. I now have them hidden in a kitchen cupboard. She got the container (green) open right after it was given to her (thankfully outside!) and started flipping out when it got on her and her clothes. I took them away at the time because I definitely didn't want them in the car. Little One was staying at my parents that night, and my mom did say the stuff on her skin came off in the bath, and the stuff on her clothes seems to have come out (though I'm thinking my mom is queen at getting stains out that most people can't...).

My thoughts on the solution was that it seemed *really* thick (little one never could get a bubble to blow and I didn't want to chance getting it on my clothes!) and very very dark. I'm pretty sure my little one has forgotten about it, so chances are I'll just toss the stuff. She's got so much other bubble solution I'm not worried about it.

I agree too!! My daughter wanted those color bubbles, so for Easter I went to two stores found one orange color one left so got it for her. she opened her basket and was so excited she tried opening it inside well we caught her but when closing it up she layed it on our floor(carpet) it dripped and made a stain in it. so getting her in play clothes and took her outside to let her try them out WHAT a MESS!! my deck now has orange spots. it came off her hands luckily didn't get any on her clothes. Hubby just shaked his head at me because it was my idea to go ahead and get it for her LOL
