10+ Fine Motor Skills Games | Pop, Drop and Freeze 🗯️ (Push Pop Bubble Poppers)

These fun little sensory fidget toys have become super popular this year (2021). Here are a few of my favourite popper games and activities for developing fine motor skills.
As most of my kids already have their own poppers they are always super motivated to find new, fun and exciting ways to play and show their friends 😁
To skip to each activity:
Pop Games 1.04
Drop Games 6.03
Freeze Games 10.20
Have fun 😄👍

Thank you for the great ideas, Adam! One thing I added was printing off a stock picture of my pop it toy, and putting it in a page protector. Then I used a dry erase marker to mark a pattern of dots for the child to match (either by filling with beads or marbles, or popping). This whole set of activities has been really motivating!

Hi Adam! I am also an OT and just received a push popper from a PT friend! I tried out your pop and drop games in this video and every kiddo loved it! Their fine motor skills were really being challenged but the kids were not aware of it as they were having so much fun! There are so many ways to make it easier or more difficult too! Thank you for another amazing activity! A great way to end the school year!

[@AdamtheOT]

You're super kind Rebecca, thanks for your comment. Like I always say "FUN FIRST!" if an activity is fun enough we can make it really challenging without any drop in motivation 😁👍
