What are the Benefits of Playing with Bubbles?
Playing with bubbles is one of those activities that makes learning fun. It can help children develop a variety of important skills.
Hand-eye Coordination
Kids have so much fun trying to pop the bubbles different ways — clapping the bubble, balancing it on one finger until it pops, kicking it, etc. Popping bubbles with different parts of the body helps children develop hand-eye and foot-eye coordination.
This will help them as they start playing sports and need to know how to throw, catch, hit and kick a ball.
Spatial Awareness
Playing with bubbles helps children understand concepts like up and down, over and under, and in front and behind.
As you play together, you can help your child learn this by saying things like, “Look at the bubbles going up in the sky,” “The bubbles are going down and might pop on the grass unless you catch them first,” “Can you reach over the plant to grab the bubble?, “The bubbles aren’t gone, there’s still some behind you.”
Emotional Benefits
Watching bubbles float and pop has a calming effect, reducing anxiety and stress for both children and adults. So, the next time your kids are driving you crazy, head outside and start blowing bubbles.
The simple act of playing with bubbles often brings laughter and a sense of wonder. We could all use more joy and the magic of childhood in our lives, and bubbles can do that for our kids, and for us as we enjoy watching our kids have fun.
Social Skills
As kids play together, sharing bubble wands or taking turns blowing bubbles fosters social interaction and teamwork. It also encourages communication as children describe their actions or interact with others.
Playing with bubbles can be a fun shared experience for parents and children and results in parent-child bonding which is definitely important for their social development.
Creative Ways to Use These Printables
Add a Wand
Attach a heart-shaped bubble wand to the printable card instead of a regular bottle of bubbles. It matches the hearts printed on the card and will be fun for the kids to see if it makes their bubbles in the shape of hearts.
Have a Bubble Blowing Contest
A simple way to release some of the excitement the kids have on this holiday is to grab these bubble valentines and go outside with the kids to see who can make the biggest bubble. Friendly competition is always good.
Bubble Challenge
Create a challenge for the kids, like “Can you pop three bubbles with your nose?” or “How many bubbles can you catch on your hand?” or “How long can you hold a bubble on your finger before it pops?”
You might want to let the teacher know ahead of time that you’re bringing these Valentines so he/she can allow time for these outdoor bubble ideas.
Equipment Needed / Helpful Tools for Printables
Printer: This one is a great budget printer. If you’re willing to spend just a little more though, this is a better option. And if you’re looking for an all-in-one home office machine, this one does it all, has high reviews and includes 2 years of ink.
Ink cartridges: Speaking of ink, this is where the cost of using printables can really add up! To save BIG on ink, buy it from CompAndSave.com. It’s substantially cheaper than anywhere else and they carry ink for all major printer brands and models.
Printer paper or cardstock: Since you’re attaching bubbles to this printable, you need the printout to hold up to being handled often, so you should choose cardstock.
Cutter: If you want nice, clean cuts, a paper cutter is a must-have. This is a great one if you plan on using it a lot. But this one is totally sufficient if you want something solid and reliable for occasional use.
On a tight budget? Go with this one. Or, use a good pair of scissors and a sturdy ruler.
