Create Smoke-filled Bouncing Bubbles
Perfect For Halloween or Just Fun!
Steve Spangler created Boo Bubbles as an easy and safe way for parents and teachers to explore the science of dry ice with fog-filled bubbles. This science kit for kids is simple to use. Just fill the bubble generator with warm water and a few pieces of dry ice, then dip the bubble blower in the solution and get ready to make the most ghostly and exciting bubbles you’ve ever seen. When the dry ice reacts with the water, smoke-filled bubbles are forced out of the bubble generator. By controlling the flow of the gas, it’s easy to make any size bubble. Best of all, when the bubble pops, a burst of fog is released, and kids scream with delight: “Do it again!” These Steve Spangler Boo Bubbles can be incorporated into STEM learning activities to help children and students learn about the science of sublimation in a fun, hands-on approach. Kids will marvel when they see dry ice transform from a solid directly into a gas.
What if you don’t want the bubbles to pop?
If you’ve ever bounced a bubble, you know that it all comes down to using the right pair of gloves. The oil on your hands keeps you from being able to hold onto or even squeeze a bubble without it popping. With the included bubble gloves, you’ll become a master bubble-ologist in absolutely no time.
What does it teach?
With this DIY science kit, kids will also be empowered to study the rate of reaction as they experiment with different water temperatures and learn about the factors that turn ordinary bubbles into super bouncing bubbles.
Roll them in your hands, bounce them off your sleeve, and pop them to release a burst of fog. How many can you hold?
Cover a clean table surface with a thin layer of soap bubble solution and spread it around. Hold the nozzle down and your bubble will just get bigger and bigger.
Have your adult helper place dry ice into a container of warm water. What do you think will happen when Boo Bubbles drop into the foggy container? Will they float?
*The Boo Bubbles kit does not include dry ice. Contact your local grocery store. We recommend purchasing 5 pounds to experience all of the experiments.
Does the kit come with dry ice?
No. The dry ice would probably disappear into a gas before you had a chance to use it.
Where do I buy dry ice?
Inquire at your local grocery store at the customer service desk to see if they carry dry ice. Otherwise, search online for a local dry ice distributor. Watch Steve Spangler’s dry ice safety video for tips on how to travel with and safely store dry ice.
How hot should the water be?
The water should only be warm. Using hot or boiling water will only result in a melted, deformed Boo Bubble Generator.
How much dry ice should I use?
The amount of dry ice you use is up to you. The more you use, the more pressure the hose and nozzle will have. Too much pressure will result in bubbles bursting before you can really experience them. We suggest purchasing 5 pounds of dry ice from your local grocery store to conduct all of the suggested experiments.

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!
Tip: When I used it at my 6 yr old nephew's birthday party, I found it easiest to soap up the table and have the kids get their hands all soapy before 'catching' the bubbles. Much easier on a hot summer day than gloves! 🙂
I love how this is an experiment they can safely touch – as a bonus, their hands were washed before cake and icecream!!
