The Bubble Power Road Trip
Purpose
This activity is perfect for building shoulder strength and stability. By working on a vertical surface, your child is using their whole arm. Popping the bubbles requires finger isolation and a bit of force. This helps prepare their little hands for holding a pencil later on. Following the line with the toy builds visual tracking skills. It is a fun way to practice focus and coordination together!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Use masking tape to secure a sheet of bubble wrap to a wall at your child’s shoulder height.
- Use a marker to draw a long, wiggly line from the bottom to the top of the bubble wrap.
- Place a small stuffed animal at the start of the line.
- Tell your child that the stuffed animal needs bubble power to move up the road.
- Have your child pop one bubble on the line using their pointer finger.
- Once the bubble pops, move the stuffed animal slightly forward along the path.
- Continue popping bubbles one by one until the toy reaches the top of the road.
- Try using the other hand to help the toy finish its journey!
Safety Tip:
Choking Hazard. This activity involves plastic wrap which can be torn into small pieces. Always supervise your child to ensure they do not put bubble wrap in their mouth. Ensure the wall tape is secure.
