Bubble Wands in Toys and Novelty(501)

Why do bubble wands have ridges?

Bubble wands have ridges on the sides to help keep the liquid with a ridge, for there to hang on more water solution to blow the bubbles. Deeper ridges in bubble wands cause bigger bubbles to be blown due to more liquid being held in the ridges. Smaller ridges on a bubble wand cause smaller bubbles.

Does hot water make more bubbles?

Yes, hot water solution makes more soapy bubbles than cold water. This is due to less surface tension in the water, so more bubbles bond to the warm water molecules than cold ones.

Is bubble solution safe for children?

Bubble solution is made up of soap and water, similar to soap that is used to clean dishes. The solution is mild, and there are little to no symptoms if ingested by a child. However, if ingested, side effects include burning the mouth and throat. If the bubble solution comes into contact with the eyes, flush the eyes with water to relieve stinging.
