Childhood memories: Blowing Bubble Balloon

When I was younger, there was no iPad or whatever Pad to entertain me. One of my favourite activities was cycling and I always cycled to the nearest sundry shop to get this:

Blowing Balloon in a tub that smells like glue. Anybody remembers this?

During the Chinese New Year holidays, we introduced this to Ethan.

I squeezed it out for him and let him blow through the straw.

Blow he did and he enjoyed it!

He blew many bubble balloons.

And burst them on his forehead when he is bored! @_@
