Big Bubble Bash, Fridays @ 4pm until the end of the school year!

If you've been to any of our outdoor events around Brooklyn, you've probably seen our giant bubbles. Since we are sheltering in and not having big events, we're sharing our secrets for our giant bubble recipe and DIY giant bubble wands.  Join your neighbors for a Big Bubble Bash Fridays to celebrate the end of another week of remote learning!

Giant Bubble Recipe

10 oz “Simply Dawn”  (NOT concentrated—important!)
1 TB baking powder
1 1/4 tsp J Lube Powder* (this will last you years!)
3 1/2 quarts water - 14 cups             

MIX carefully, not makig too many bubbles on top.

Note: Better if you make it a day in advance

DIY Giant Bubble Wands

Wooden Dowels or sturdy fallen tree branches/sticks

String (buy cotton string). 

OPTIONAL --- Rubber Bands (to connect string to wooden dowels)

OPTIONAL Washer (not necessary if the string is heavy enough)

• Cut 2 strings, one about twice the length of the other (e.g., 60”and 30”).
• Tie strings together leaving room at the ends to connect to dowel
• Attach the strings to the sticks

NOTE:  Amazon has this telescopic bubble wand* that works dang good!  

Dip wand into the bubble juice, lift up and let the wind make bubbles. Close the bubble before it gets so big it pops!

We are working on a video!  Stay tuned!

If you buy from our links, PSP gets a little bit back. THANKS. (Oh, and the Jlube has some crazy reviews-- just giving you a heads up!)

PSP Update: We made it through April! Let’s keep going!

Hey All,

We made it through April (and its showers), and May (and tomorrow) looks to be beautiful! Everything we’re hearing from the experts is that we’re doing the right thing by sheltering in place. With that, we’re seeing more talk of “What’s next” and “When can we….” The answer is this: for our community’s health and our family’s well-being we must stay on course and continue to pause even though we may want to get back to “normal.” Cuomo talks about having 14 consecutive days of decline in new cases before we start thinking about opening things up, and that sounds like a good plan to us.

That said, we’re ready to start having more conversations about planning for re-entry and navigating the new normal. That means conversations about daycare, summer camps, preschools, and nannies. We’ll be reminding you to vaccinate your kids, get your mammograms, and get your checkups. Stay tuned for more on that!

There are a few updates and things that have been swirling around my brain. There’s lots to tell you about, so grab a cup of tea, spa water, or fun drink and simmer on these thoughts.
