Dr Zigs Bubble Foamer is made from Bamboo and Coconut matting - all grown and cut in a community farm in Vietnam. Bamboo is a wonderful natural sustainable material. It is fast growing, strong and needs little water. The Coconut matting is made from the hairy outer husks of coconuts - this is normally a waste product, so it is wonderful to be able to give it a new life. The foamer is gorgeous and smooth to hold, very tactile and strong, and when you dip the end in bubble mix (either Dr Zigs painting bubble mix or their normal bubble mix), and blow through the ends - you get huge long sausages of foam!!
