Giant Bubble

I made a giant bubble out of plastic tarps for the kids a few weeks ago. I found the idea on pinterest and decided to give it a go. I duct taped the tarps together and left an opening for the fan and for the kids to climb in.
 I let them blow bubbles inside and it got pretty slippery. It was also pretty hot in there and as I discovered, it acted like a giant magnify glass on our lawn and burnt a pretty good chunk of grass.

 But the kids thought it was so awesome! The key this was to use heavy plastic sheeting, the thin cheapy tarps won't work. I just used a regular box fan to blow it open and it worked really well.
