Bubble machines feel like something straight out of a summer festival…playful, low-tech magic that turns empty air into joy. Bubble wands themselves have been around in toy form since the mid-1900s, when companies figured out the perfect soap mix for sturdy bubbles, and the “machine” part came later with a simple upgrade: instead of a kid blowing through a wand, a small motor and fan do the work.
You can get a bubble machine just like the one in Animal Crossing from Oriental Trading Company. It works the same way as the one in the game: a motor will spin a number of bubble wands through the soap water, and a fan will blow thousands of bubbles to fill the air.
