“POP” Goes the Bubble Wrap
Prep: 10 Minutes | Activity Time: 5–10 Minutes
Next time you get a shipment delivered to your home, keep the bubble wrap. Let your toddler excite in the popping explosion.
- Bubble wrap
- Painter’s tape (this type of tape will not damage your floors)
Step 1: Cut the bubble wrap into strips about 1-foot wide.
Step 2: Tape the bubble wrap onto the floor to create bubble roads.
Step 3: Show your child how you can pop the bubbles. Warn her that it is going to make a loud pop! Let her become comfortable with the popping noise before moving on with the activity.
Step 4: Let your toddler have fun running and popping the bubble wrap. She might also enjoy driving small vehicles along the road and listening to the pops.
Step 5: You might create a simple rhyme to say as your child is having fun popping. For example:
“1 pop, 2 pops, 3 pops, 4.
Take another step and pop some more!”
OR
“Let's take a step at the top.
Ready, set, go. POP, POP, POP!“
