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 his/her crib or the bed. Now talk to your little one to get his/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 he/she will start seeing some and fix his/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 his/her eyes, stimulating their curiosity and enthusiasm to explore the world around.
