Bubbles – Toddler

Blowing bubbles is a great way to take time out. You can blow the bubbles for your child, or if they are ready, try taking turns.

Did you know?

Bringing the lips together and blowing helps toddlers use this movement in speech.
Catching bubbles helps toddlers to judge distances.

Add language

Try waiting before you blow the bubbles, encouraging your child to ask for “more”.

Variations

Try popping the bubbles in different ways to practice different skills. Pop with a pointer finger, clapping between hands, or stomping on them.
