The story encourages readers to embrace change and view obstacles as opportunities for growth. It also fosters emotional intelligence by showing how different mindsets can impact our experiences. This makes it an excellent tool for teaching kids about problem-solving, collaboration, and the value of a positive attitude.


Overall, "Bubble Gum Brain" not only captivates young audiences but also equips them with essential life skills, making it a valuable addition to any child’s reading list.


In this focused activity inspired by Bubble Gum Brain by Julia Cook, childrenwill engage in a cutting and sorting exercise to explore the concepts of flexibility and inflexibility. Learners will cut out various words that represent different situations—some that require a flexible mindset and others that reflect inflexible thinking.

Once the words are cut out, children will sort them into two categories: “Brick Brain” and “Bubble Gum.” As they discuss their choices, they’ll learn how being adaptable can lead to better problem-solving and cooperation with others.

This simple yet effective activity not only reinforces reading comprehension and fine motor skills but also encourages social skills through group discussion and collaboration. Join us for a fun way to stretch our minds like bubble gum!
