Mister Bubble - A Teacher's and Carer's Guide

Bring the magical world of Mister Bubble into your classroom or home-learning environment! Written by Luke Mathius Harlow—a qualified primary school teacher with over six years of classroom experience—this practical activity guide provides adaptable, hands-on lesson plans based on Mister Bubble and the Thoughtless Children and Mister Bubble and the Greedy Triplets.

Designed specifically for Key Stage 1 (Ages 3–7), this guide combines essential literacy and fine motor skills with core Social and Emotional Learning (PSHE). Through Mister Bubble’s gentle modern-day fables, children explore important moral themes like kindness, empathy, sharing, and personal responsibility.

• Activity 3: Spot-the-Difference Tasks – Visual discrimination exercises that strengthen concentration and 1-to-1 counting skills.
• Activity 4: 3D Bottle Craft Project – Step-by-step instructions for building Mister Bubble’s house out of a recycled washing-up liquid bottle and basic craft materials.
• Activity 5: Imaginative Creative Writing – Guided story prompts helping children explore consequences and creative problem-solving.
• Curriculum Mapping: Clear National Curriculum tie-ins for English, PSHE, and Art & Design.
• Classroom Notes Section: Includes dedicated observation and lesson planning pages for educators and carers.
