Abstract
Abstract A combination balancing bubble blowing device for use both in blowing bubbles and also as a balancing toy which comprises a bowl and the stem in combination with a bubble wand. The bubble wand is positioned in front of the bowl opening so that air from the bowl passes through the wand loop to form bubbles. The wand handle is so associated with the bubble pipe that the wand loop may be easily removed away therefrom for insertion into a bubble fluid container.
