Not only are bubbles a great source of fun but they are also an excellent way to help your baby/toddler develop their physical and visual skills.

Bubbles are both eye catching and slow moving and are a great way to help your baby learn to use their eyes. Encourage them to reach out with both hands to clap the bubbles, use their index finger to poke them and “squeeze” and grab bubbles with the whole hand before they hit the floor. This helps support their hand and eye co-ordination. Bubbles are wet, slimy and sticky, they feel funny and the physical act of blowing can be a very sensory based way to help babies/toddlers feel calm.

Blowing bubbles is good exercise for little mouths, but it can be hard work so help them out and make it fun!
