Your little ones are curious about many things—who can leap the farthest, the timing of their allowance, and how to get Alexa to tell the funniest jokes. However, right now, they’re likely eager to learn how to blow bubbles with gum. While bubblegum may seem to contradict your household rules—like avoiding sticky surfaces and hair mishaps—it’s an essential childhood experience.

As you may recall, chewing gum can bring back memories from your own childhood. Perhaps you remember the taste of grape Big League Chew during Little League games or racing your cousins to the ice cream truck for that gumball-filled treat. Everyone has a nostalgic gum moment, whether it’s the scent of your grandma’s minty Wrigley’s gum or a day spent chewing a favorite flavor.

Did you know there are numerous tricks you can perform with bubblegum? Though some might argue they’re a bit gross (after all, it’s essentially playing with spit), your kids will only be young for so long! So let’s dive into the simple steps for blowing a bubble. It may be tricky to recall how you learned this if you’ve always known how to do it. Once your kiddos grasp the basics, you can introduce them to some of the exciting gum tricks we’ve uncovered.

How to Blow a Bubble with Gum

  1. Choose the Right Gum: Opt for bubble-blowing gum like Big League Chew or Bubblicious in a flavor you love (grape is the best, obviously). Take out two pieces—or pinches, if you’re using BLC—but remember that small mouths may do better with one or half.
  2. Chew It Soft: Chomp until the gum is soft and juicy.
  3. Shape It: Use your tongue to flatten the gum against the roof of your mouth, forming a disk shape.
  4. Position It: Move the gum to the front of your mouth, just behind your teeth.
  5. Push It Out: Open your mouth and gently use your tongue to push the gum between your teeth and lips. Take your time to avoid poking a hole.
  6. Thin It Out: Continue using your tongue to push the gum disk out until it’s thin. A mirror can help your kids see their progress.
  7. Blow the Bubble: Once the center is thin, take a deep breath and blow into it to create a bubble. It’s important to blow hard; think of it like blowing bubbles in a milkshake versus thinner liquid.
  8. Seal It or Pop It: When the bubble gets big enough, use your teeth to pinch it closed or keep blowing until it pops—because that’s half the fun!

Bubblegum Tricks

  • Frozen Bubble: A classic prank! After blowing a bubble, pinch it off and freeze it. When solid, put it back in your mouth and show off to unsuspecting friends.
  • Teeth Mold: This silly trick is sure to amuse kids. They can press their chewed gum against their teeth, creating molds to compare with family and friends.
  • Bubble Within a Bubble: This trick is challenging but rewarding. Start by blowing a smaller bubble, then blow a larger one around it, using your tongue to ensure the smaller bubble fits inside.
