Bubble Wrap Jumping Fun

Parent sets up bubble wrap circles on the floor for child to jump on, creating a fun sensory experience while developing jumping skills. The agent coaches the parent to observe jumping form, balance, and coordination as child jumps in place, jumps down from a step, and jumps forward to pop bubbles — building gross motor confidence and leg strength.

What you'll need

Clear floor space for jumping. Have bubble wrap, scissors, and tape ready. Cut several bubble wrap circles (about 12-18 inches across) before starting. Tape circles securely to floor in a pattern with space between them. Have a small step stool or low platform available.

How it works

  1. 1~45s

    Let's start with the first bubble wrap circle. Ask your child to stand right on it. Then say 'Let's see how many bubbles we can pop with one big jump!' Encourage them to bend their knees and jump straight up, landing back on the circle. Watch their form closely — does your child use both feet together? Does they get both feet off the ground at the same time? Tell me what you notice about their jumping technique.

    Watch for: Child jumps vertically with both feet leaving ground simultaneously and landing together.

  2. 2~50s

    Now let's add the step stool. Place it right next to a bubble wrap circle — just a small step down. Help your child stand on the stool, facing the circle. Say 'Ready to jump down and POP the bubbles?' Watch carefully as they jumps down. Does your child land with both feet at once? Does they maintain balance after landing, or does they need to take a step to recover? Notice how they manages that downward momentum.

    Watch for: Child jumps down from low height landing with both feet simultaneously and maintaining balance.

  3. 3~55s

    Now let's try forward jumping! Place two bubble wrap circles about 20 inches apart. Ask your child to stand on the first circle and jump forward to land on the second one. You might say 'Can you jump from this circle to that one and POP it?' Watch for that forward propulsion — does your child swing their arms to help? Does they get enough distance to reach the target? Notice how they coordinates the forward motion with the upward jump.

    Watch for: Child jumps forward from standing position, covering distance with coordinated two-foot takeoff and landing.
