Best Bubble Guns

1. Bazooka Bubble Gun

You really can't beat the Bazooka bubble gun. With 69 holes, this toy produces thousands of bubbles in under a minute. It is easy to use, chargeable, and has a great battery life. It comes in multiple colors and honestly, if you're only getting one bubble gun or wand this summer—or have a range of ages that will want to play with it—this was the best one we tested.

2. JOYIN Bubble Storm Guns

These bubble guns come in sets of two, perfect for any backyard battles you are planning this summer. The bubble gun sets are available in a variety of colors, including a super cool transparent version. They boast a long battery life and come with bubble solution refills. 

3. Ftocase Bubble Machine

This bubble gun toy is specifically designed to be easy for kids to use. With its special trigger design, kids won't have to worry about holding down the trigger the entire time they are shooting bubbles, so no tired fingers at the end of the day. That's why kids love it. Our mom tester loved this one because it was super durable and didn't break even when her kids really put it to the test.

Best Bubble Toys for Toddlers

6. Ballooble Bubble Machine

One of the Mommy Poppins moms tested out several of the bubble machines with her kids, and the Ballooble Bubble Machine was one of her kids' favorites. This bubble wand features a favorite character (they chose Spiderman). Mom's favorite feature: It's unspillable.

7. Bubble-N-Go Deluxe Toy Bubble Lawn Mower

This adorable bubble toy looks like a tiny lawn mower. This bubble toy is perfect for younger kids who still like to have something to hold onto while walking around. It's easy to put together, will hold up well even with some rough play, and it doesn't disappoint on the bubble front.

8. JOYIN Big Bubble Wands for Kids

If you're looking for something a little more classic, or if you need to supply a party of kids with bubbles, these simple wands are for you. They come in a variety of tube colors and produce tons of lovely bubbles. You can also purchase refills if you'd like to reuse the tubes next summer.

9. Baby Shark NO Spill Musical Bubble Machine

This Baby Shark bubble machine *could* sing the Baby Shark theme song over and over. Thankfully, it also has a silent setting. Tons of fun for Baby Shark obsessed kids, and parents can silence it when the song wears out its welcome.

10. Britik Princess Bubble Wands for Kids

For anyone with a focus on style, this bubble wand is certainly a looker. With a flamboyant fairy design (think pink, bows, the whole nine yards), any princess in your life is sure to love this bubble wand. In addition to bubbles, this wand also has music and lights.

11. Fubbles Light-Up Bubble Torch

This bubble torch (or flashlight to those of us in the US) adds lights to the bubbles experience. It's perfect for a nighttime bubble fest or even some bubble-infused flashlight tag. Our kid testers think it's extra fun on warm summer nights.

12. Duckura Bubble Leaf Blower for Toddlers

This bubble leaf blower has got you covered if you want bubbles and you want them fast! It's made for tiny toddler hands but don't be fooled, it still produces tons of bubbles. It also comes with several bubble solution refills.

Check out these dueling whale bubble guns for your next bubble battle. The toys are easy to use and designed for tiny hands. Each order comes with 4 bottles of bubble solution to keep everything flowing all summer long.

14. BLUEY Dance Mode Bubble Machine and Toy Microphone

This Bluey bubble microphone is sound activated and only blows bubbles when it is being sung into. This helps avoid endlessly looping audio and encourages play. Our kid testers wanted to keep the bubbles going, and playing with it prompted a spontaneous bubble concert in the front yard!

Best Bubble Machines

15. Fansteck Upgraded Bubble Machine

This top-of-the-line bubble machine offers intense bubbles. Perfect for parties or just some backyard fun. However, you should be aware that this machine does need to be plugged in to run, and you will have to purchase bubble liquid separately. 

16. FUBBLES NO Spill Funfiniti Bubble Machine

With its unique shape and no-spill promise, this bubble machine is a big hit. This toy has a large reservoir and can run for up to one hour continuously, meaning more bubble time for your kids, and less time spent refilling for you. The motor is very quiet on this machine as well, making it great for quiet sensory play.

17. Gazillion Bubbles Hurricane Machine

When it comes to price tag, this bubble machine hits just right. This toy is affordable but still plenty of fun. It features a reservoir to allow bubbles to continuously run, and several bubble wands to produce a large volume of bubbles. We'd recommend stocking up on additional bubble solution as the refill that comes with this machine is rather small.

18. KINDIARY Seal Style Bubble Machine

Who doesn't want a seal-shaped bubble machine? Don't worry, this bubble toy isn't all style and no substance. This toy produces thousands of bubbles per minute, has a convenient detachable reservoir to make clean-up easy, and features two easy-to-operate modes so you can customize your play.
