Bubbles

Materials You Need: Blanket, soap bubbles. You can also make bubbles at home with water, hand soap, laundry detergent, or dishwashing liquid; wire or tape; deep container.

What You Can Do Together: To do this activity, you must first prepare your bubbles. If you don't have bubbles at home, you can make some homemade ones. You can mix a cup of water with half a cup of soap or detergent in the deep bowl, and that's it. The wire or tape will help you make a hoop and use it to blow the bubbles through it.

Now you can start. Lay your little one on his back on a soft surface, like her crib or the bed. Now talk to your little one to get her attention. When you do it, you can start blowing bubbles from above. Always try to draw your little one's attention to the bubbles. Slowly she will start seeing some and fix her gaze on them when they are falling.

Your little one will love watching the bubbles. You can recite the following poem and give it a little rhythm at the time of the activity:

     Fill the wand!

     Gently blow!

     Now you’ll see,

     The bubbles grow!

What Your Child is Learning: Your little one will have a nice and entertaining moment looking at and following moving objects with her eyes, stimulating their curiosity and enthusiasm to explore the world around.
