Virtual Bubbledad and a Bubble Bonanza

Bubbledad is bursting with a bonanza of bubbles of all sizes. He will clue us in on how to make our own bubble tools, too. Pick up a Grab and Go Kit with the materials to make a Giant Bubble Maker Gizmo (while supplies last) in the Children's Library Discovery Center at Central Library.
