I had a Magic Bubble Bear when I was a kid.  I remember running around the yard with my sisters while trying to blow as many bubbles as we could and not hyperventilate.  We had a blue, yellow and red version.  The Magic Bears are perfect for kids who don’t like sticky bubble fingers and can’t quite hold a wand at the right angle.  The wand pops up from the bear’s head when his tummy is gently squeezed.  Pustefix makes the best bubble solution and their iconic packaging still carries the 1940′s trademark bear.  I had forgotten all about them until I found this one at Pomme, one of our favorite shops in Dumbo.  At under $10, Magic Bubble Bears make great favors at a child’s birthday party.  Hooray for bubble weather!
