I've spent the last few months trying to teach my son how to blow a bubble with bubble gum. This is not an easy skill to teach, and yet once you learn it is the easiest thing to do. Most times when you are teaching someone how to do something, you use words and actions at the same time to demonstrate the "how to." Well, if you can do this with blowing bubbles, you should upload that to Youtube! It just cannot be done.
I would talk Cameron through the process and then show him by blowing a bubble. When he would try, he would simply blow the gum right out of his mouth. He would get another piece and I would try a new technique. Perhaps one little step at a time would work. You get the gum to the front of your mouth by your teeth...oh, you know how. Anyway.....
The tough part is describing how to push your tongue through the gum out of your mouth and then pull your tongue back in leaving a hole where you can blow the air. I didn't do very well here did I? Well, obviously through all my gobbledygook, Cameron got it and can now blow a mean bubble!
Without three pieces of gum at one time!!!
