Materials
Piece of bubble wrap
Dot stickers (optional)
Directions
We all love to pop bubble wrap and it is an excellent fine motor activity for children. Popping bubble wrap strengthens the fingers. To extend the activity and add a new element, stick dot stickers onto the bubbles. Encourage toddlers to press on the blue dots, red dots, green dots, etc. For preschool age children, write letters or numbers on the dot stickers and encourage your preschooler to find and press the letters in his name, match upper case to lower case letters, or complete addition or sutraction problems by pressing on numbers (i.e. 2 and 3 is 5).
Have fun and enjoy!
