Often while doing bubbles, people ask me how I got into making bubbles.

Many years ago I was visiting my sister Ann and her husband Doug who live in Iowa City. Knowing I was a big kid at heart, they took me to visit a friend of theirs named Mark Gauger who owned a toy store called The Fun Zone. He had all kinds of fun gadgets, and games, puzzles, kites, you name it! The one thing I wanted was the

COOLEST THING OF ALL!

THE Bubble THING!!! My sweet sister purchased the toy for me for my birthday present. It was a red plastic tube that had a cotton ribbon attached to it. Fortunately I kept that thing around until I became a grandpa. So one day

I got it out, mixed up the bubble solution and brought bubble magic to my grand-kids.

Over the years I’ve learned how to improve my secret recipe and make my own bubble wands. Whenever I do bubbles I feel a sense of peace and joy. I can see the same sense in others when they see my bubbles too! It's magic for the times we live in!

Bubble Jim is available for just about anything you can think of including:
