Hosting a neighborhood barbecue can be fun, it gives you a chance to meet those who live nearby. It also gives everyone a chance to socialize and relax. However, finding a way to keep children happy so that adults can visit and relax can be difficult at times. One way to keep them happy is with a bubble blower. It is not expensive but it is a great success!
You can place it away from where food is being cooked to help keep children safe. You can place the bubble blower in a place where the adults can watch over the children, but also have enough distance for everyone to do whatever they want during the event. It can be difficult to find something for an age group, but it is a huge hit.
Set up
There is nothing complicated about setting up a bubble blower, but the details will depend on the product you purchase. Many of them just need batteries and then you turn them on once you fill the product. However, keep extra products and batteries on hand so kids won’t be disappointed when there are no more bubbles.
The product used for these machines is non-toxic, so it will not harm children, pets you have, or your lawn. Find a place to put it where children can run, play, catch the bubbles and not risk falling or being limited in space. Keep it away from rocky areas where the terrain is uneven and away from fences or walls.
Remote configuration
Depending on the bubble blower you buy, you will have a choice of several settings. Some of them only have a couple of settings or even a speed that you need to take. Those that have various speeds or settings that offer more fun for children. For example, you can resize the bubbles to chase them.
Others have a remote control that you can allow one of the older children to use or you can give to an adult. This allows you to change the bubble blower settings without someone manually going there and taking care of it. Take the time to explore the various products out there. They are not expensive, but they can vary in terms of quality and what they offer.
Look for a product that is well made, easy to use, and lasts a long time. You don’t want it to be something that gets thrown away after a couple of uses because it can’t meet your needs. It’s also a good idea to get one that is easy to assemble and store. It’s going to be something kids will ask you to offer often though!
Big success
Don’t be surprised if other families in the neighborhood follow suit and buy a bubble blower after seeing how successful it is for the kids at your barbecue or other event. Some of them can come and borrow yours until they get it. It is a fun way to entertain children so they can be a part of the fun.
It’s also a great way to steer them away from television, video games, and cell phones. Too often kids today are spending more and more time with these devices and not enough time outside enjoying the company of others!
