The Bubble Drop Precision Road
Purpose
This activity is a fantastic way to help your child develop the "pincer grasp." This is the pinch used to hold a pencil. By using an eyedropper, they strengthen tiny finger muscles and learn to control pressure. Watching water land perfectly on each bubble helps with eye-hand coordination and focus. It’s a calm activity that feels like a science experiment!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Lay a small sheet of bubble wrap flat on a table with the bubbles facing up.
- Fill a small plastic container with water and add two drops of food coloring.
- Show your child how to squeeze the eyedropper to soak up the colorful water.
- Challenge them to place exactly one drop of water on top of each individual bubble.
- Once the road is full of drops, have them use a paper towel to gently blot and soak up the water.
- Try again with a different color to see the jewels sparkle on the plastic!
Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is recommended. Small drops of water can be slippery. Handle the eyedropper gently to avoid spills.
