Might seem like a daft question - but bear with me Grin. Ds has severe speech delay and we are doing a lot of bubble blowing to help with certain sounds. Trouble is bubbles seem to be rubbish these days - I am having trouble blowing bubbles out of them. Anyone found a really good make of bubbles - thanks

If you add baking powder or sugar to the solution it increases the surface tension of he bubbles. Also high humidity helps.

Gymboree bubbles are expensive but brilliant.
When they land on a surface they don't burst (who knows what they are made of but we use them outdoors just in case!).

I would also recommend their bumpy grab ball - it's squishy enough for little hands to catch more easily than a normal ball.

Gazillion bubbles are also good. again pricey but good
