My ds has wanted a set of bubble pipes for *years*. He still looks at them every time we go to the grocery store.

Sadly, both sets he has ever received as gifts have been pure junk.. did not work at all, caused lots of crying and disappointment, etc

Is there a better set out there somewhere? He makes lots of his own bubble wands from the instructions in a Klutz book we have, but the lure of the pipes still has hold of him.

Ideas?

I've never seen one that worked, even long ago when I was a kid and they weren't made in China.

Not a pipe, but you do get to blow into it to make the bubbles...


I have been seeing this on Pinterest and thought it looked intriguing. We are going to try it.
