I feel like I never need to buy bubble toys again! That is so fun; amazing how much you can do at home! Hope you are having a wonderful Friday!
What a great idea for the little ones – thanks for sharing it with us at the #WWDParty. Have a great weekend!
Thank you so much, Antionette! We love bubbles around here, kiddos and adults alike. Thank you for stopping by to say hello.
I love those bubble wands, they’re so pretty. Hello from Best of the Weekend.
Aren’t they pretty? I can’t wait to go to the craft store to pick up some unique beads and make a whole bunch of these as party favors for my little girl’s next birthday party. Love ’em! Thank you so much for visiting tonight, Melissa!
What a fun post Jelli!
I’ve seen those beaded bubble wands before… aren’t they gorgeous?! I like the colourful straws one.
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately – I’ve been really busy with my blog transfer from Blogger to WordPress… but now it’s done, and I’m back!
Wishing you and your beautiful little family a lovely day.

Happy you stopped by, Jennifer. It looks like your transition was seamless. Did you DIY or hire a pro? Anyway, thanks for lovin’ on the bubble wands. I can’t wait to put some together as favors for Summer’s 3rd birthday party in a few months. Take care and enjoy your ‘new’ site.
Such a cute idea! I would love it if you joined and contribute your awesome posts at my link party at City of Creative Dreams, starts on Fridays 😀 Hope to see you there at City of Creative Dreams Link Party.
Thank you so much, Shanice! Glad you liked the post and I appreciate the invitation to your linkup. Hope you have a fantastic day and stop by again soon!
My kids love bubbles! Some great ideas. I am going to try the plastic cup with a straw. Beautiful beaded bubble blowers too! Cute xmas gifts.
The cups with the straws are great! We used them at my daughter’s 3rd birthday, along with a few others included in the post. They had tons of fun. Adding a hula hoop to a poolful of bubbles was a real hit too. Thanks so much for stopping by, Natasha!
