bubble wrap or toddler step aerobics
Thoughtful reader and not-so-rookie mom, Tanyetta, shares this tip for entertaining a gaggle of energetic toddlers:
Get a strip of bubble wrap, roll it out in the middle of the floor and watch the kiddos have a ball making their own unique type of fun!
Inspired by Tanyetta’s suggestion, I unrolled some large bubble wrap for Holden and got some great action photos of him leaping off of our hearth (is that what it’s called?) and onto the bubbles. Super cute!

THOSE ARE THE CUTEST KIDS!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN THAT DAY! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR POSTING THIS. I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOUR WEBSITE.
This is such a great suggestion — I want to do that for me. I can’t wait!
we use bubble wrap in our classroom with the 1-3 year olds they LOVE it! another neat thing we do is fill some small snack baggies with washable paint, and some with air and tape them together like bubble wrap and let the kids paint with their feet on giant rolls of butcher paper
Recently my 16 month toddler son spent a few hours at the office with me…. when he became bored of the sticky notes, we broke out the bubble wrap! It was a blast!
Cheap fun!!
i love me some bubble wrap
love this idea. I did it with my son last year and he had a blast. I let him go without socks for even more sensory input. Eventually we turned it into a game where the bubble wrap was a path that you couldn’t fall off of.
Our 2-year-old has to get every last bubble popped. Definitely lots o’ fun!
