Kids these days are stressed. There are a multitude of different ways to help kids deal with stress, but there is one very simple stress reliever that you’ve probably all tried at one point or another – packaging bubbles. Despite Amazon and many other online stores abandoning this joy inducing packaging in their boxes, it’s still pretty easy to get you hands on the old-fashioned bubble wrap (check out your local office supply store, do it yourself moving store or big box retailer).
I like to have a little fun with it and make a label for the bubble wrap. I keep a handful on hand to pass out to stressed out kids (and adults). Here’s a picture of the stress reliever we put together (I printed the labels; my son and daughter cut the bubble wrap and stapled the labels to the bubbles).
Here’s what our label says:
STRESS RELIEF
Instructions for Use:
- Use for immediate stress relief.
- Firmly place thumb & forefinger on opposite sides of bubble.
- Press firmly together.
- Enjoy the feeling of stress leaving your body as bubbles pop.
- Repeat as needed.
If you have some extra-large address labels on hand, you can use those too and skip the stapling step. Thanks to Pinterest for the original idea for this handy stress reliever.
