MyBlogSpark: Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles

I have to be honest with you, I was really hesitant to try out the Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles. It was all because of the past reviews I had read about the formula. But, when I read that they had reformulated the bubbles to make sure it didn't stain I agreed to test them out.


Again, I'll be honest with you: I was super nervous to play with them.


Moms despise stains in the laundry and the mess that they make of our lives... well, at least I do.


When it was time to test out the new Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles, I dressed my kids in "play" clothes and we set off outside to have some fun.


The girls loved the colored bubbles and the hand crank bubble machine (kid powered, genius!) gave them lots of enjoyment. 


Again, I won't lie I freaked out when I saw the bubbles pop on their skin, but I relax when I was able to just wipe the color off their skin no problem. 


Roo, of course, managed to get the yellow bubbles all over her play shirt and I have to report to you, that it did not wash out. So remember to wear play clothes that you don't care about when you play with these bubbles.


Here are the guidelines straight from Crayola when playing with the Outdoor Colored Bubbles:


"

• Dress for Mess. Wear washable play clothes and shoes. It’s best to not wear suede, leather or any other material that can’t be washed.
• Play Outside. An open grassy area is best away from new concrete, decks and porous surfaces like marble. Don’t use at formal events like weddings.
• Rub skin to remove color.
• Launder clothes promptly with water and detergent. Repeat washing may be needed.
• Hose off outdoor surfaces like sidewalks and driveways to wash away color. "

Overall, the girls loved Crayola Outdoor Colored Bubbles. It is the perfect summertime activity for us. 


And once I calmed down, I enjoyed them too.


We spent a good hour blowing bubbles everywhere (even all over our white daisies in the garden).
