Keep the kids entertained
Hosting a neighborhood cookout 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 the children happy so that the 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 keep an eye on the children, but also have enough distance so that everyone can do what they want during the event. It can be hard to find something for a range of age groups, but this one was a hit.
Setting
There is nothing complicated with 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. Keep extra supplies and batteries on hand, though, so kids aren’t disappointed when there are no more bubbles.
The product used for these machines is non-toxic, so it will not harm children, any pets you have, or your lawn. Find a place to put it where the kids can run, play, catch the bubbles, and not risk falling or being limited in space. Keep it away from rocky areas where the ground is uneven and away from fences or walls.
remote configuration
Depending on the bubble blower you purchase, you will have the option of several configurations. Some of them only have a couple of settings or even a speed that you have to take. Those that have various speeds or settings offer more fun for children. For example, you can change the size of the bubbles so that they chase them.
Others have a remote control that you can allow one of the older children to use or you can give it to an adult. This allows you to change the bubble blower settings without someone manually going there and taking care of it. Take your 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 you throw away after a couple of uses because it can’t meet your needs. It’s also a good idea to get one that’s easy to assemble and store. It’s going to be something the kids will ask you to do often though!
Big success
Don’t be surprised if other families in the neighborhood follow suit and purchase a bubble blower after seeing how successful it is for the kids at your cookout or other event. Some of them may come over and borrow yours until they get one. It’s a fun way to entertain children so they can be a part of the fun.
It’s also a great way to get them away from TV, video games, and cell phones. Too often, today’s kids spend more and more time on these devices and not enough time outside enjoying each other’s company.
