Bubble Follow is a gentle home activity where your child tracks floating bubbles with you to build eye tracking, joint attention and turn-taking. Blow one bubble slowly, pause expectantly, follow your child's gaze and reach, and add simple words like 'up', 'pop' and 'more'. Keep it short, warm and shared — the connection matters more than popping every bubble.

*Bubbles drifting through the air are one of the easiest ways to invite your child into a shared, joyful moment — and that shared moment is the real skill you're building.*

## In short
Bubble Follow is a simple home activity where your child watches, reaches for and tracks floating bubbles with their eyes and body — gently building eye tracking, joint attention and back-and-forth connection with you. You only need a pot of bubbles, a calm space and a few playful minutes. The goal is not popping every bubble; it is the warm, shared looking and turn-taking between the two of you.

## How to play Bubble Follow at home
**Set up for success**
- Sit or kneel at your child's eye level, close enough to share a look.
- Choose a calm, low-distraction spot — soft lighting, no loud telly.
- Keep sessions short and happy: 3–5 minutes is plenty.

**Build the play step by step**
- Blow one bubble slowly and pause. Let your child notice it before you blow more.
- Track it together — move your own eyes and head with the bubble and say "Oooh, look!" so your child follows your gaze.
- Wait expectantly before blowing again. That pause invites your child to look back at you, reach, or vocalise — the start of turn-taking.
- Follow their lead: if they point, reach or make a sound, respond as a "turn" and blow the next bubble as their reward.
- Add simple language: "up", "pop", "more", "all gone" — one or two words, repeated warmly.

**Make it richer over time**
- Offer the wand and let your child request "more" with a sound, sign or word.
- Move the bubbles left, right, high and low to encourage eye tracking in every direction.

## The Pinnacle way
Bubble Follow is one small piece of building shared attention; the bigger picture is your child's overall communication and play. A clinical [AbilityScore®](/ask/what-is-the-abilityscore-and-how-is-it-calculated) and any diagnosis are formed only at a Pinnacle Blooms Network centre, under qualified clinician care — never from a home activity or an online tool. If shared attention, eye contact or play feel harder than you'd expect for your child's age, our team can guide you.

Guidance on play-based shared attention and early communication aligns with the American Academy of Pediatrics and HealthyChildren.org parent resources, and with ASHA guidance on supporting early social communication at home.
