just sprays and doesnt go anywhere. To effectively blow a bubble, your
child must blow long and slow
Talking with Children:
What do the bubbles look like?
What do you see in the bubbles?

How big can you get you bubble?

How can we make the bubbles last longer?
Have you ever felt like you didnt know what to do?
What did you do in that situation

Interrelatedness Explanation: Language: tell your child he can only pop the
bubble you will blow with the body part that you name (e.g., elbow, foot, etc.).
This is a great way to develop focus, attention, impulse control, and learn the
body parts.
Fine motor: having the children pop bubbles with their fingers
