National Bubble Gum Day was created by children’s book author Ruth Spiro as a way for kids to raise money for school activities without having to sell anything.
Students can “buy” the right to chew gum in class on February 3 for 50 cents. While smacking and bubble-blowing might be disruptive in the classroom.
The money raised helps kids understand the importance of giving back while also providing a financial boost to the schools’ charitable efforts. Also, the age-old “no-gum” rule is suspended for one day per week.
Why We Celebrate National Bubble Gum Day
Bubble gum was first produced commercially in 1928 with the creation of Double Bubble, though chewing gum has been around for much longer.
However, the significance of this day extends far beyond the mere commemoration of a particular type of sweet and chewy snack.
Although that is certainly cause for celebration, the larger goals of this day are more important.

Ruth Spiro
A children’s book author, came up with the idea for National Bubble Gum Day in 2006 because she thought the world needed a day dedicated to learning, helping others, and, of course, bubble gum.
She got the day going with the intention of collecting money for school events without having the kids sell items to their loved ones. And she knew that kids would be more likely to bring in a few quarters if they were promised some bubble gum.
Due to its enormous success, a whole organisation grew up around it, with the goal of inspiring young people to become charitable and of allowing schools to give to a cause that is consistent with their own values.

It’s not limited to the classroom either! Since charity isn’t limited to schools, Bubble Game Day events have been held in other settings such as businesses, libraries, and community centres.
Ruth Spiro is a talented author and illustrator of children’s books. Her works, such as Lester Fizz, Bubble-Gum Artist, Baby Loves Aerospace Engineering, Baby Loves Quarks, and many others, are both educational and entertaining, using bright colours and unusual topics to keep kids’ attention.
She thinks it’s crucial to pique kids’ interest in the world around them from a young age by encouraging them to ask questions.
I agree that a baby of six months won’t have much to say about these books. While it may be too soon to let them chew bubblegum, it’s never too soon to fill their minds with exciting information that will inspire them to discover the world and develop a passion for learning.
Get ready to celebrate National Bubble Gum Day in style, and do so in the knowledge that you are helping a worthy cause.

Children Are Crazy About Bubble Gum.
Kids enjoy chewing bubble gum for more than just its sugary flavour (though sugar-free gum is recommended by dentists).
Likewise, popping a piece of bubble gum into your mouth and starting to blow allows adults to relive their childhood.
It’s A Great Way To Get Kids Thinking About Helping Others.
Children learn the importance of helping others and supporting a good cause through Bubble Gum Day.
On February 1, children who want to chew gum must first make a fifty cent contribution. This helps them realise that they are participating in a day that is doing good for the world.
It’s A Reminder Of The Days Gone By.
Giving students the option to chew gum on one school day a year serves as a gentle reminder that they are not permitted to do so on the other 364 days.
Those kids who tend to forget and enter the classroom with a wad of gum in their mouths might be persuaded to throw it away in honour of Bubble Gum Day.
