Can I blow bubbles with a 15 month old?

[GentleMember]

Is it a developmentally appropriate activity to blow bubbles with a 15 month old?

Yes

Please explain the context behind this question. There must be some. It's utterly bizarre without any. Blowing bubbles is an activity without any age limits.

Why would their be an age restriction ?

I’ve seen babies enjoy bubble machines and watching others blow bubbles

Are you OK?

Are you the 15 month old?

Odd question.

I mean, I wouldn’t give the 15 month old the wand or liquid but if you blow bubbles for them, I imagine they’ll love it!

We do it with the DDog and she has an IQ of roughly zero so I’m sure it will be fine with a 15 month old human child

You can blow bubbles with a child of any age. At that stage my ds would have struggled to actually successfully blow any bubbles himself but enjoyed seeing me create them and try to reach them.

Do you do anything just for fun, or are all activities strictly vetted for developmental benefits ?

You could also do it in line with certain nursery rhymes like I had a little turtle or one little red fish if you want to make it feel more interactive. Or sometimes I'd do it while ds is in the bath.

My dog loves it too!

And it normally attracts the attention of toddlers/young children who love to join in. It's cute to see kids interacting with my dog over a shared love of bubbles! 😍

At that age I think they liked trying to catch them rather than do the actual blowing

I doubt they have the control to blow but would like watching and trying to pop

Why wouldn't it be?

I mean I wouldn't let them drink the solution but yes of course. When an odd question.

As long as you don’t let them get hold of the bubble mixture (they might try to taste or drink it) it’s fine

They can't aim at the wand when blowing yet (if that's what you're asking).

But of course everyone loves looking at bubbles, from newborn onwards

I think about 2.5-3y was when my dd could blow the actual bubbles. Younger if you use the kind of wand you can just shake

Used to work in baby rooms in nurseries and we blew bubbles with them. Just supervise them so don't attempt to swallow the solution. And be careful on uncarpeted flooring for slipping etc. Could get a bubble blowing machine might be safer

What ? 😂😂
