What you'll need

Clear floor space for jumping. Bubble wrap, scissors, tape, and a small step stool (4-6 inches high) available. Cut several bubble wrap circles (about 12 inches diameter) before starting. Ensure floor surface is not slippery.

How it works

  1. 1~30s

    Let's start with the first bubble wrap circle. Tape it securely to the floor. Now invite your child to stand on the circle. Say something like 'Let's see how many bubbles we can pop with one big jump!' Encourage them to jump straight up and down right on the circle. Watch closely — does your child bend their knees and use both arms to help launch? Do both feet leave the ground together? Tell me what you notice about their jumping form.

    Watch for: Child jumps vertically with both feet leaving ground simultaneously, showing coordinated leg extension and arm swing.

  2. 2~35s

    Now let's add the step stool. Place it right next to the bubble wrap circle — just a small step down. Help your child stand on the stool, facing the bubble wrap. Say 'Ready to jump down and POP the bubbles?' Watch carefully as they jumps down. Does your child bend their knees to absorb the landing? Does they maintain balance when landing, or does they stumble? The control on landing is just as important as the jump itself.

    Watch for: Child jumps down from low step with controlled landing, bending knees to absorb impact and maintaining balance.

  3. 3~40s

    Now let's make a jumping path! Tape three or four bubble wrap circles in a line, each about a foot apart. Challenge your child to jump from one circle to the next. Say 'Can you hop from bubble to bubble like a frog?' Watch the sequence — does your child gather momentum between jumps? Does they swing their arms forward to help propel themself? And most importantly, does they seem to enjoy the challenge of connecting multiple jumps?

    Watch for: Child jumps forward with both feet, covering distance while maintaining balance and showing rhythmic sequencing.
