Oh, hello friends.

I was just sitting here blowing bubbles.

I like to watch them float into the air don't you?

You can see such pretty colors.

But what if two or more people want to blow bubbles and there's only one bubble wand?

What do you do then?

Well there's one thing you don't do, and that's fight about it.

That's not the way to work out a problem, now is it?

Of course not.

For one thing when you fight, someone might spill the bubble mix.

Then no one would get to play.

And the most important reason not to fight is that someone might get hurt.

What could you do?

Well, you could take turns.

How about that?

One person could blow the bubbles, and someone else could chase them and try to catch them.

That could be fun.

♪♪♪ Okay, friends.

Here's something else you could do instead of arguing over the bubble wand.

You could make another one out of something else.

Like a piece of string.

Yes.

A piece of string makes great bubbles.

Just take a short piece of string like this and tie it together to make a loop.

Then hold the string like this and dip it into the bubble mix.

Of course you'll have to pour it into a pan or a bowl.

♪♪♪ Sharing, taking turns and coming up with other solutions to a problem is much better than fighting.

And you know what?

Sometimes working together to solve a problem can be as much fun as the solution.

So when you find yourself in a situation where you have one toy and several people, stop and think about it and I know you will come up with a better way to go about things than fighting.
