Sensory activity with bubble wrap: creativity and learning
Sensory discovery with bubble wrap at the Les Mousquetaires nursery in Leudelange
At Les Mousquetaires , located in Leudelange, Luxembourg, our daycare places sensory exploration at the heart of its educational activities. Recently, our little explorers participated in a fun and creative activity using a well-known material: bubble wrap. This unique experience allowed them to awaken their senses, develop their creativity, and explore new ways to express their imagination.
A sensory and creative activity
Before beginning to paint, the children were first invited to observe and manipulate the bubble wrap. This moment of discovery allowed them to describe what they saw and felt: the bubbles, the shapes, and the reliefs. This preparatory phase was crucial for stimulating their curiosity and developing their vocabulary in French and Luxembourgish.
To make the activity even more engaging, we adapted the materials to their age and skill level. The bubble wrap was wrapped around wooden rollers and paper towels, providing an easy and comfortable grip.
The educational benefits
This activity, both fun and educational, allowed the children to develop several important skills:
Sensory exploration : The touch of the bubble wrap, combined with the sensation of the paint, stimulated their senses and encouraged tactile awareness.
Discovering Colors and Shapes : Children were encouraged to choose and mix colors, creating original and random shapes and effects.
Developing Creativity : Using bubble wrap as a painting tool, they explored new artistic techniques while letting their imagination run wild.
An activity that stimulates the imagination
Using bubble wrap as a painting tool was a real discovery for the children. Through simple gestures, such as rolling the paint-soaked bubble wrap across a large sheet of paper, they created beautiful abstract landscapes. This process allowed each child to express their own vision and describe their creations.
Educational reflections to go further
This activity is designed to encourage children to actively and freely explore. Here are some ideas to further enhance this experience:
Describing Creations : Children can use their creations to tell stories, stimulating their language and imagination.
Artistic collaborations : We could create a collective fresco involving all the children, thus strengthening teamwork and sharing.
