How to play

  1. Before you start: Tape a long sheet of bubble wrap to the floor, bubbles up, as a path.

  2. Stomp on one bubble and let them hear it pop.

  3. Let them walk the path and pop as many as they can.

  4. Try jumping with two feet, then stomping, then tiptoe.

  5. Look for the last few bubbles nobody has popped yet.

  6. Finish by rolling across it on your tummies.

What it helps with

Keep it safe

  • Bubble wrap is a suffocation risk. Keep it taped down and put it away the moment you finish.

Make it different next time

  • Dance to music and stomp on the beat.
  • Outside, add washable paint to their feet for a footprint picture.

Cleanup: Roll it up and recycle it where your area takes plastic film.
