Baking Cup Hidden Bubble Pops

Purpose

This activity is a fantastic way to help your child develop finger isolation and control. By reaching into the small cups, your child practices precision while getting a fun sensory pop as a reward. This builds the strength needed for buttons and zippers later on.


Activity Steps

Steps:

  • Glue five baking cups onto a flat piece of cardboard.
  • Cut five small circles of bubble wrap to fit inside the cups.
  • Place a small dab of glue at the bottom of each cup.
  • Press the bubble wrap circles firmly into the glue.
  • Ask your child to use only their pointer finger to pop the bubbles.
  • Challenge them to use their other hand to hold the cardboard steady.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child to ensure they do not put small pieces of bubble wrap in their mouth.
