How to make something more AWESOME; Customizing bubbles!

Kids love bubbles, adults love bubbles, bubbles make anyone's day a good one and are also a fun way to implement fine-motor work into any lesson plan. I usually forget what a great tool they are for teaching pre-school classes until I take a stroll through the toy isle at the store, which is something I try not to do now that I have a toddler that likes to grab anything with eye-catching colors and textures.

However, I'm on the hunt for some neat ideas to use for the competition I'm putting together. Bubbles caught my eye today, lots and lots of bubbles caught my eye today. As I was seeing them stacked up in nice rows I thought to myself, "hmmm, I these sound like fun for the gymnasts to play with during awards. Hmmmmm, but these labels look too kiddy."
