The assumption trail
Is it safe?
- Eyes: bubble solution is soap-based and stings if it gets in a child's eyes — keep water or a wet cloth on hand for a quick rinse.
- Slippery surfaces: bubble solution makes grass and hard surfaces slick — keep young kids within arm's reach of an adult.
- Supervision: an adult should be actively watching the whole time bubbles are running, not just nearby.
