How would you like to blow bubbles in bright colors? Sounds awesome, right? Crayola’s new washable Colorful Bubbles seem like an amazing idea, especially if their bright colors don’t stain. Except some parents are complaining online that they kind of, um, do.

For their part, Crayola claims that any stains will wash off with soap and water, and warns on the product package not to use the product at weddings (wise), or indoors, and to test-wash any fabric that you plan on blowing bubbles at. That will go over well with the average 5-year-old.
