| Meet the inventors of Bubble Wrap, learn how them make it, and have fun virtually popping the bubbles! |
Do you still have holiday gift packaging Bubble Wrap® strewn about the house or did your kids pop it all? Never fear, today's website offers an ever-lasting virtual supply of bubble wrap. That's right. Visit the company that pioneered bubble wrap, meet the inventors, discover the history of Bubble Wrap, learn how they make it, and then have fun virtually popping the stuff. Be sure to turn the sound up and try the silly games and activities. Don't miss the links to other fun bubble wrap sites too.
You can do all of this in preparation for National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day on Monday, January 29th, 2007!
On that day, the winners of the first-ever Bubble Wrap® Competition for Young Inventors will be announced. At the website, you can view the entries of the 10 Semi-Finalists (out of over 800 entries) -- including that of homeschooler Megan Guerrero! She invented "The Empire State Building 3-Dimensional Construction Project." See it here (scroll down the page):

It's really fun to see the amazing uses for Bubble Wrap that these kids invented. I used to keep Bubble Wrap in the car to help the kids pass the time on long road trips -- but these young inventors take Bubble Wrap to a whole new level. You'll get ideas for science experiments and art projects that your family is sure to enjoy!
Who knows? It may provide incentive for your kids to enter next year's Bubble Wrap Competition for Young Inventors.
By the way, you can find numerous "Bubble Wrap Lesson Plans" for a variety of subjects on the Internet just by typing bubble wrap lesson plans into a search engine like Google. See what pops up! You'll be surprised.
