Boo Bubbles - Dry Ice Smoke Bubbles
Bubbles are cool, but bubbles filled with fog are even cooler!
Usually ships out the next day.
Recommend for 8 years & up with adult supervision.
Deal of the Day
Then, put on your cotton gloves and get ready to bounce those bubbles in the palm of your hand. This experiment flooded our phones with excited fans when Steve introduced it on television and now you can bring home your own Boo Bubble™ Generator! Recommended for children ages 8 and up.
What's included?
1 Boo Bubble Generator:
- 1 Plastic jar with lid
- 1 Pair of cotton gloves (one size fits most)
- 1 9 oz. plastic cup
- Rubber tubing
- 1 Threaded nozzle (for better bubble solution collection)
- 1 Bottle of dish soap (brand may vary)
(The Boo Bubbles kit does not include dry ice.)
How does it work?
The original idea of creating fog filled bubbles came from a demonstration presented by Bob Becker in 1995 called a Leaky Faucet. Fog filled bubbles dropped from a “faucet” made out of PVC pipe. Steve Spangler updated this idea by being able to control the flow of the carbon dioxide gas with his Dry Ice Cloud Generator. Steve also added his Bouncing Bubble demo using knit gloves to create a ghostly looking “touchable” bubble that vanishes with a burst of smoke.What does it teach?
Kids will remember this exciting Chemistry lesson for years to come. Help them understand the concepts of surface tension, gasses and more all while having a blast with bouncing Boo Bubbles.Product FAQ

Super fun
Cindi Ellis - December 26, 2012
I used this for my grandson's fourth grade Halloween party. It was a hit! I did have to change the water out after the 2nd group because the water was cold and the bubbles started to come out slower. But once I put hot tap water in, they started coming out fast again. I did make the bubbles ahead of time and used glycerin. I gave each of the kids a glove to hold and bounce the bubbles with and they had a blast! It was hard for them to not touch it with the ungloved hand, so next time, I'll have enough gloves for both hands. |

WOW!!!
Christy L George - November 15, 2012
This activity invited more students who were just "passing by" the classroom who wanted to see what was going on. The kids are fascinated with learning new things and regardless of how "simple" the idea is, these students walked away learning more about science in one day than they had in years of school. Science IS becoming fun and interesting and that is the goal; to entice learning by exploration!!! |

Perfect for Halloween party
Sam - November 10, 2012
We got this for a Halloween party. The kids really enjoyed playing with it for a couple of hours. Not only did they make the bubbles, I also had a container with mostly dishwashing liguid in it and they put the hose in it to make lots of bubbles. It was fun watching the bubbles fill up and flow over the edge of the container. The next day I still had some dry ice left, but my kids weren't interested in it anymore. I'll tuck it away for next Halloween and maybe they'll be excited to use it again. |

boo bubbles
karen - October 29, 2012
The experiment is easy to do and worked great for the first 10 to 12 bubbles then condensation collected in the tube and it didn't work after that. I had planned on using it for small groups on halloween and I am nervous if only 1 group gets to experience the bubbles. I always try it out first. I want to do it again tomorrow for a practice run again switching water and dry ice but the tube took 2 days to dry out. So not sure I will even attempt to do this experiment.

BOOtacular.... (I had to do it)
Don C - April 15, 2012
Rubber tube... pickle jar... Oh the power of simplicity. Steve should recieve the Nobel for this one... No but seriously, this device is awesome! Kept the little ones(and myself, mostly myself)enthralled or hours. "SCIENCE!!!" |

Fabulous science demo generates LOTS of interest!
Ann Jansen - January 9, 2012
I used this as a science demo to drum up interest in a k-2 grade science club at our school. The directions were very clear - I had no questions. The children loved it and we were easily able to make connections to the carbon dioxide in our breath, liquid versus gas and water vapor that is seen on cold days, etc. It was also very fun and easy to generate different variables to test like; tube size, nozzle type, bubble solution type, quantity of dry ice, and initial water temperature. Another fun extension is using "zoom tools" to make a cube shaped bubble and then making it white inside wiith the boo bubbles. My only difficulty was the 40 minute drive I had to make to find the only supplier of dry ice in all of lower Delaware. However, the dry ice was inexpensive and lasted two days in a styrofoam container. |

Boo-Bubbles!!
Melissa Harry - November 21, 2011
My son is obsessed with Boo Bubbles. He watches the video of them all the time. We got Boo Bubbles for his 5th birthday party along with insta-worms, instant snow, and slime. The Boo Bubbles were the finale and definitely the hit of the party. The kit comes with a pair of gloves but I picked up a few more from the dollar store. Luckily, all we have to do is buy dry ice from the grocery store and we can do them whenever we want! |

Great product!
Susan A - November 19, 2011
I've used these before (bought two several years ago) for my science club... but recently bought two more (have 40 kids this year). Once again... a huge hit. I used these last week for my science club, along with the shaker slime (another huge hit). The kids love anything with dry ice (these are 3rd - 7th graders) and I had a struggle getting them to stop playing because it was time to go. Love this product! Yeh Steve! |

Bubbles of fun
Joan - November 7, 2011
everything worked just as it was supposed to. Watching the video before we did it was helpful.the little cup with soap tipped a few times so we put the soap in a larger flat bottomed container. The instructions were well done, and the accompanying book choices listed were excellent. Thanks! |

boo bubbles
Shirley - November 1, 2011
I loooved this purchase.. BUT the bubbles that were sent opened up in the plastic bag and they got the instructions soaking wet. My recipe for bubbles is actually better than the one sent,using dawn soap works better than the joy that was in the shipment; but I love the machine; so simple, overpriced also, but I can't make one myself. The bubbles came out slowly though and the children were very over anxious.. Just wish it could work faster, so the children would not be arguing (pre-school, 2 and 3 yr. olds)for a turn with a bubble. But, both parents and children loved the concept. |

Theresa Kaska - October 27, 2011
I loved this...I orginally bought this for my third grader for his Halloween party at school and ended up using this in my preschool classroom! I even showed the parents (the daddies had all kinds of questions, it turned them into 12 year old boys again!) |

Boo Bubbles
Peggy - October 16, 2011
I used the Boo Bubbles as part of an October science program - Science Magic. It was the favorite station during the program. Even though we has any where from 5 to 10 kids at the station at any given time they were all able to try out the gloves and play with the bubbles. I used the glycerin in my bubble mix and it worked out well. |

boo boo the bubbles
Zarinah Myer - October 5, 2011
Hi steve my father has purchased this item for my science project. It was so FUN!!! As I started testing it out I couldn't stop. I will be making a list of what I wantfrom this site raise up money and buy it all!!! You should build walk in stores all over the country if people can't order things. And if you do make sure to have all of the products in each store and have several stores in each city. And make a boo bubbles gun!! And a boo bubbles mat! And make a boo bubbles kit with polymers and stuff. I'm obseesed with science!!!!!!!! |

FUN!
Astrid - September 5, 2011
The kids really loved this experiment! Although I wish you could come up with extra conections so more than 1 kid can come to the front and play with the "boo bubble" |

Boo Bubbles Worth It
Roger Davis - August 11, 2011
Simple and very engaging. Worked well with elementary and middle school aged kids, but my son (a junior in high school) spent a few hours "testing" it for me the night before I was to use it. Dry ice is a great substance to teach a number of concepts (density, solids/gases, and sublimation to name a few). I found cotton gloves at the Dollar Tree Store (2 pairs for, you guessed it, a buck). The kids had fun trying to pass it to one another (teamwork) and creating new dance steps while bouncing and tossing the bubbles. I'm really happy with this purchase. I would suggest putting a "water fill line" on the bottle so people don't overfill. Thanks. |

Great Product with Clear Instructions
Leonard Hutchens - June 13, 2011
This is a great product. I tried making my own using clear tubing and PVC pipe, but this works much better because the ar gives you better control of the release of the gas. |

crazy but really cool
Naima asif - June 7, 2011
this is a really cool activity. my science teacher told me about it and now i am having lot of fun playing with it. i tried another way of making more big bubbles. just take a tray or a flat surface and put the soapy solution and then try making big one. they be really big. and |

Wonderful experience!
Brittany - April 28, 2011
The children found this experiment amazing! We did it last year during our annual MAD SCIENCE DAY. The only down fall is you have to have access to dry ice, but it is well worth it! |

WOW - THE PARENTS AND KIDS WERE AMAZED!
kathy jean - March 27, 2011
There were so many oohs and aaahs. Quite easy to manage too. Like all Steve's products - wonderful quality and quantity for the price. |

Bubble-fantastic
Robin - February 18, 2011
What's not fun about playing with dry ice. This great product keeps it safe for kids (with adult supervisions of course!). My 10 year old and friends had a blast with it. Watching the ice fog, using the attached hose, and of course, putting the bubbles everywhere possible. Good sturdy toy too! |

Boo Bubbles are amazing
Janice Kinnin - December 15, 2010
When kids get excited, they get loud. Our classroom was filled with noise and excitement as the kids got to hold and burst their ghost bubbles. Incredible fun. |

Total Hit!
Amanda Good - October 26, 2010
I used this kit with some 4-H groups that I work with. Total Hit! The kids thought it was great to be able to bounce and play with the bubbles. I also purchased extra knit gloves so we did not have to always change gloves. Great Idea! |

Wonderful!
Sunnie Warren - October 17, 2010
My 4th graders loved this experiment! Too often I see 4th grade teachers skipping over science because it's not tested! I just cringe when I hear this! Not teaching children science is doing them an injustice! With every experience that you give them you can tie it into writing or math! |

Boo Bubbles were a hit!
Carolyn Florio - September 2, 2010
I made my own similar contraption out of a snapware container and tubing from our home beer brewing kit. Dry ice at our local grocery store only comes in a huge chunk, so we had plenty to "melt" all weekend! |

SO AWESOME!
Elizabeth Beckwith - April 19, 2010
Yes, it is so awesome and I am 27. This was just as exciting for me as my 5 year old students. The jar given is great...just dont fill up water past the tube. Add the dry ice and its soooo easy. We immediatly got bubbles filled with fog as we dipped it in the soapy water. I made the soap/water solution the day before for and let it sit. I also added glycerin. After the amazement of the bubbles wore off, we just kept adding dry ice and warm water into the jar, along with soap; put it in the sink, and made a bubble fountain. It was pretty awesome. |

Boo Bubbles Big Hit
Becky Fox Matthews - April 8, 2010
We used your Boo Bubbles kit and a larger version our exhibits fabricators made for our event "The Science of Beer" at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, TN. We demonstrated them with both dry ice and liquid nitrogen and they were a real hit with all the adults! The event received an award of excellence for superlative achievement this week at the TN Association of Museums event. Thanks for the innovative ideas and the kits to make the activities so easy to try. Previously we'd incorporated Boo Bubbles (using liquid nitrogen we keep on-site) into a daily public program and it was also a huge hit. We'll be using these activities again! |

Awesome!
Tammy Bailey Bremerton, WA - January 12, 2010
This was a huge hit! The kids didn't ever want to quit making the bubbles and trying new ways to create bigger bubbles. Everyone got into it! |

Really Fun!!!
Eric Seattle - November 2, 2009
Totally recommend it, the kids had a blast for a long time with this. After making hand-held bubbles, then they tried using a tray of the soapy water and started making really big bubbles on the tray surface. |
