Bubble Machine

This indoor/outdoor bubble machine runs on battery or outlet-power. It has a safety feature that shuts off the fan if the bubble wands encounter resistance, making it safe to use around young children! The machine is easy to fill with the bubble liquid of your choice and has 2-speeds to allow you to control the number of bubbles released. Bring some bubble-fun to your next event!

Note: The library does not supply batteries or bubble liquid. The machine runs on 4-AA batteries if you are not using the outlet power.
