The BubbleStix field guide / 04
From pouch to first dip
A good first session begins with knowing what is in the kit and what to bring yourself. Keep the current pouch directions beside you as you prepare.
Find your BubbleStix kit
Separate included supplies from what you bring
The Original Kit contains one complete wooden wand set and five mix pouches. Double Pack contains two sets and ten pouches. Camp Pack contains ten sets and fifty pouches. Bring your own water, dish soap and suitable clean mixing container. The printed pouch directions are part of the preparation; keep them available rather than relying on a remembered recipe.
Use the actual directions for the mixture
Mix BubbleStix Bubble Mix with 1 gallon of water as directed on the pouch. The current package artwork states “Add water and dish soap as directed.” Use the actual pouch for the remaining preparation quantities and instructions. Read the full directions before adding anything to the container. Keep the pouch beside your setup so everyone helping can follow the same instructions.
Choose the container for the full dip
The ropes must become completely submerged. Choose a stable container with enough room for that movement, then place it on level ground where it is easy to reach. Give it a separate place away from food, drinks and pedestrian routes. If several people are making bubbles, arrange their stations so they can dip and lift without crossing equipment.
Prepare the place as carefully as the mix
Check the space around your feet, above your head and behind you. Make room for a high lift and a wide opening. Identify the breeze and face into your open area with the wind at your back. If you plan to walk backwards slowly in still air, inspect the whole path first. Supervise children and watch for slippery spills around the dipping area.
Keep supplies ready for your next turn
Follow the supplied instructions for handling, care and storage. Keep the pouch directions with the equipment so future sessions start with the correct preparation too. Additional mix pouches are supplies for the included equipment; they do not add another wand set. Choose your kit by how many people you want to equip at once, then confirm current stock and shipping in checkout.
