POP! Bubble Wrap Number Formation

What kid doesn’t love all things that pop? And as a way to learn, it’s tons of fun. In our learning themes journey, my preschooler and I have been doing some bubble wrap number formation to work on her fine motor skills and also understand how numbers are formed.

In writing numbers and letters, my 3 year old tries to just connect dots, but doesn’t have the correct stroke or fluency.and this has helped tremendously!

When we addressed this it was somewhat difficult for her to understand not skipping strokes or how to move her pencil in a fluid manner. and this has helped tremendously!

So I decided to write out each number on a sheet of bubble wrap for her to pop.

And this has helped tremendously!

Learning to write numbers with bubble wrap

Take your sheet of bubble wrap and write the numbers where the bubbles make sense and flow.

Also, don’t get bubble wrap that rely on another bubble to stay aired up. We found that out the hard way the first time!

Then, having your child hold their pen, pencil, or pointy object correctly with the right grip, have them pop the bubbles in order.

Not only does it help them learn the numbers and how to form them in order, but it helps strengthen fine motor skills.

I personally put a star where I wanted her to start and a dot where I wanted her to end. She can work on it both when I am there and when I am not, so I can make several sheets for her to practice and enjoy!
