Hot Tip

Make time and space for bubbles!

Bubbles are a great early learning activity. They foster that all-important positive association. They also help little ones develop spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and the eye tracking muscles they will need for reading.


Bubbles are not just fun and games, they’re serious learning!


Don’t worry if it takes time to perfect your approach. I tried a few bubble machines before I found this little pineapple. It makes Goldilocks bubbles—not too big, not too small, but just right.

I learned the hard way that bubbles can get slippery on a hard surface. That’s why, in my current library program, we do the bubble parade outside the programming space on the carpet in the children’s room. At another venue, I do the bubbles outdoors.

It’s also a good idea to have wet wipes and a towel on hand—just sayin’.

How about you—what are your hot tips for getting those bubbles just right? Any funny moments to report? Tell us in the comments below!

This week I’m featuring Stevie’s Safe Spaces, where I got this awesome t-shirt. Check out their shirts, hats, stickers, and more items for spreading safety, kindness, and inclusivity.

With public hostility on the rise, it’s crucial for caregivers and children to know who they can trust.

Thank you, Stevie, for giving us an easy way to let people know we’re safe!
