Let's Play!: Bubbles

Let's Play!: Block That Move (Source: What to Expect)
Appropriate for: 1 year and up
Skills developed: Hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills & language development
What you'll need: Bubble Solution, Bubble Wand

Every child enjoys playing with bubbles. To take this activity to the next level (the learning level, that is), invest in a set of wands in a variety of shapes and sizes so your toddler can explore the concepts of big and small. Then take your gear outside so nature can play a role in the game, too. Explain how the wind carries the bubbles away, the same way it blows the leaves around in your yard.

Add the thrill of the chase, and the fun grows exponentially. Encourage your child to crawl or toddle after the blowing bubbles and reach for them on his own. Then show him how to let a bubble land gently on his arm (he probably won't need any instruction when it comes to popping those magical orbs!). If you want to concoct your own bubble solution, make that part of the activity, too. Let your toddler watch you mix a cup of water, a tablespoon of glycerin (readily available online or at your health-food store), and two tablespoons of dishwashing detergent. Then let him take a turn at dipping the wand into the solution. Don't forget to show him how to blow!

Playing bubbles became one of my favorite games, I love popping the bubbles. It is really a very fun-filled activities for toddlers like me. CAUTION: You will experience dizziness after the activity (I don't know why, my dad, uncles, lola tita and mom experienced it)

Have a nice day to all,
