Abstract: A bubble forming apparatus includes aligned first and second rims which cooperatively define a central bubble-forming aperture and which move relative to one another. A plurality of leaves each having a first end pivotally attached to the first rim and a second end pivotally attached to the second rim. The leaves selectively move into and out of the central bubble-forming aperture as the rims move. A housing may be provided which partially encases the first and second rims and defines a channel that directs excess bubble solution to a reservoir through a basin formed at a base of the housing. A handle for the device houses the bubble solution reservoir, which may comprise a bottle of bubble solution secured to the handle. A pump is in fluid communication with the bubble solution reservoir and connected to the actuator such that when the actuator rotatably moves the second rim, the pump is activated to discharge bubble solution onto the leaves.
