Pop Goes the Bubble *


Just when your baby thinks he’s got the world figured out, play a game that will confound him all over again! But don’t worry—your baby will have fun, since he will quickly realise what’s happening!
Learning skills
• Coordination
• Fine motor development
• Problem solving
Materials:
  Bottle of bubble solution
Large area for playing

What to do:
1. Place your baby in the centre of a large room where he is free to move about.
2. Begin blowing bubbles near your baby. (If you like, create your own bubble blower out of a pipe cleaner: twist the top of a cleaner into a small circle, leaving a little of the cleaner straight to hold when dipping into a soapy solution.)
3. Demonstrate how to chase and pop the bubbles, then encourage your baby to follow your example.
4. Note: Some babies get very excited during this game and try to pop the bubbles before you’ve had a chance to blow them. This is a good time to teach your baby patience by waiting a few seconds before you release the bubbles.
Safety:  Watch your baby so he doesn’t drink the bubble solution
