Bubble wrap painting is also a great way to practice fine motor skills because it requires your child to use a pincher grasp to hold the paint brush, It also encourages movement of their hand, wrist and arm to paint the bubbles within the image. Dipping the paint brush into the paint also increases fine motor skills.

HOW TO MAKE BUBBLE WRAP APPLE ART
STEP 1. Download and print out the free apple template.
STEP 2. Place bubble wrap over the apples and paint only the bubbles that are inside each apple. Use any colors you like!
TIP: Should the bubbles on bubble wrap face in or out? You want the bubbles to face out so you can apply paint to them to make your apple print.
STEP 3. Now press the art paper down onto the painted bubble wrap to create a ‘print’. Press firmly and lift carefully to reveal your apple art.
STEP 4. Optional – cut your apple prints out or leave to dry and then fill up the page with more bubble wrap painting.
