You might have seen the pizza commercial where the guy is hanging out all day with a sheet of Bubble Wrap...and just popping it!To be honest, I could probably see myself doing that if I had a really big sheet of it, and all day to waste. :) After all isn't that what bubble wrap is for? Well, apparently not!
Some kids have great imaginations and were challenged to create new uses for Bubble Wrap! Thus began a contest, the Bubble Wrap Competition for Young Inventors.
So far there are 15 semifinalists, and the grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 savings bond. Sweet!
Here are some of the ideas: Some saw Bubble Wrap as a building material for shock-absorbing flooring for dancers. Others thought that it should be wrist cushions for people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
The winner will be named January.
Here's the official Site for the competition:

Happy Popping or Inventing :)
