[blparent] Blowing bubbles

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

You can use your finger to feel the outer rim of the want to line your
lips up. It's difficult for me to explain since you simply just do it.
I'm totally blind and have blown plenty of bubbles with the kids. Yes,
there are times when I miss the wand, or I put it to close to my lips,
but usually it's no problem. We do bubbles in the bath tub and outside,
and all I can say is that it's not hard to do nonvisually, smile.

If in doubt, blow softly and place the want in the general vicinity of
your mouth, you will get bubbles most of the time.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

I just showed my kids the general technique and let them experiment and 
refine for themselves.
