Lots of people enjoy the satisfaction of popping bubble wrap. Even the virtual kind. On one listing for a computer game it’s called the ultimate time waster. There are apps with popping bubble wrap games. Some people find it a stress reliever and like hearing the pop. Lately I have been receiving packages with a different kind of plastic with air trapped inside and they aren’t nearly as fun, just half heartedly filled with air and don’t make a good POP! More of a fizzle.
You don’t have to explain the rules to this activity. Here’s Maura on Aunt Linda’s back porch, concentrating on the task. A detailed post of various methods of popping bubble wrap has been published over at 1000 Awesome Things( #840) so check it out here. There’s a photo of someone jumping on a big sheet of it! And there are various size bubbles.
Maura was popping the bubbles one at a time and it was fascinating to watch her take her time. It seems a skill that’s a natural one. Pick it up. Squeeze. Pop!
and Jack has found another use for bubble wrap
It can keep one busy for hours. It is harmless. Two good reasons to pop bubble wrap.
Jack is obviously the comedian of the two. 🙂 Maura’s look of concentration is priceless. Lovely post, Ruth. We’ve all done the bubble-wrap popping. 😆
Loved this post. It was fun, and I feel less stressed. The pics are great, the play is even better. Have a good day today Ruth.
Kids love it. Our dogs are afraid of it. Great photos!
I loved twisting bubble wrap
Such beautiful children!
Maura sees bubble wrap and gets to work, methodically popping each bubble. Jack sees the same thing and uses it to become a Super Hero. Perhaps the rhyme about Little Girls and sugar & spice needs to be updated to include bubble wrap.
Love bubble wrap – irresistable! And great photos too Ruth
Adorable!! Fun!!
Popping bubble wrap is a timeless activity. I like Jack’s application, too!
I love popping bubble wrap. Around my house we fight over who will get it. Thanks for sharing.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I love popping bubble wraps too. When I was a kid, I can sit for hours just popping it. I don’t know what is with this bubble wrap that kids are hooked up with it. Even now I am older, I still love popping them.
