Magic bubbles, small bubbles, big bubbles and bubbles with different colors.
Bella Blaas has 3 variations of the Bubble Blowing Workshop.
🫧 As Laundry woman she carries her laundry paraphernalia, such as washboards, beaters, watering cans, and wash tubs,
in her wheelbarrow and drives from place to place to tell young and old about Monday Laundry Day.
But the fun part is that people can get to work themselves with all kinds of bubble blowing, creating colorful and almost kaleidoscopic effects.
🫧 Also available as a colorful version with Bubblelicious Bubbles
🫧 and Winter Queen with Bubbles with lights.
The Winter Queen appears in a beautiful winter costume, surrounded by snow decorations, twinkling lights, and a charming wooden cart
full of winter details. She has come straight from the North Pole and has her friends Penguin, Polar Bear, Seal, and Snowy Owl with her.
With elegant movements, she creates impressive giant bubbles that shimmer in all the colors of the rainbow.
During the day, the enormous bubbles create a spectacular visual effect, while the act gains extra magic in the dark thanks
to warm lighting and an enchanting atmosphere.
This mobile act is perfect for Christmas markets, winter events, shopping centers, festivals, and winter parades.

Are you looking for an original activity that brings people together, provides fun, and a healthy dose of competitiveness?
Then playing competitive games with the Old Dutch Games is an excellent choice.
These nostalgic games not only ensure a good time but also create connection, teamwork, and unforgettable moments.
The games are timeless. From shuffleboard and fishing to hat toss and table hockey: virtually everyone
recognizes the charm of these classic activities. Precisely because the games are easy to understand, everyone can join in immediately.
Young and old stand together at the table, encourage each other, and become enthusiastically involved in the competition.
What makes competitive play extra fun is the element of winning. In our competitive variant,
the games are already pre-selected and scorecards are provided, so that teams or participants can easily compete against each other. This immediately ensures more interaction, humor, and excitement during the event.
Additionally, the Old Dutch Games are ideal for team building. During a company party, family day, or event,
people learn to work together, communicate, and get to know each other in a different way. The relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to connect and have fun together.
Another major advantage is the nostalgic feel. The authentic wooden games take visitors back to the past and evoke warm memories.
Moreover, the games are supervised by our staff in traditional costumes, which also provides photo opportunities.

With the growing demand for experience-oriented event content, these authentic workshops have become a permanent fixture
within the world of corporate and public events. A combination of tradition, creativity, and conviviality
proves to be a winning formula that leaves a lasting impression.

Still a successful theme. Delft Blue can already be found in the 17th century. Around 1606 it was only for sale by the rich due to the high purchase price. In 2025, Delft Blue is still very popular among foreign tourists, but secretly the Dutch also find it interesting, artistic and funny.
At our workshop you can get started yourself and at the living statue you can see the well-known souvenir in motion.
Who doesn't know the sayings: "East, West Home Best" or "Nobody gets a program from life". "By drawing this line, change is a fact",
"I hoped to become rich while sleeping, but I couldn't sleep". Create your own fun saying or get creative with a beautiful drawing at our
Delft Blue Tile Painting Workshop.
The Delft Blue Farmer and Farmer's Wife depict the world-famous kiss. They come to life to the sounds of old Dutch barrel organ music. New video!
Make it complete with the Delft Blue Poffertjeskraam. With a typical Delft Blue pattern, this setting really stands out. A cozy, snug look and doesn't take up too much space. 2 meters wide, 2.5 meters deep.
🔵 Or with the typical Dutch syrup waffles baked and filled on the spot from the Delft Blue Syrup waffels stall.
