This is an excellent way to help your little one strengthen their muscles around their mouth.
E has articulation issues so needless to say we ALWAYS have bottles of bubbles around!
It's cheap, fun and oh so simple.
Another great excercise is having them blow bubbles into their juice or milk through a straw.
I know kind of gross and who know's how many times I got on to the boys for doing this before I was told it was good for Little E.
So now I let them make, make and make more bubbles.
One little recommendation, don't let them do this to carbonated drinks or into a Capri sun packet.
The Capri sun packet will fill with air and the juice will gush out like a geyser.
Yes, for us it was a lesson learned.
Another a great excercise is Air Hockey....poor man's style.
Take a waded up piece of paper and place in the middle of a table.
Place yourself or sibling on one end of the table and another child on the other.
Each player places a straw in their mouth and blows air at the wadded up piece of paper.
Back and forth until the paper flies over one end that person gets a score.
Keep this up for giggles, fun and most importantly much needed excercise that will help your little one.
