5 Fun Things You Can Do With Your Kids Using Balloons

Most children are fascinated with balloons. This is probably why they’d always want to get their hands on the balloons that are used to decorate events.

Did you know that balloons are not just for decorating venues for social gatherings?

Yes, balloons can also be used as props for when playing or spending some quality time with your children.

Here are some fantastic ideas you can try at home.

1. Do-it-yourself stress ball

You need a funnel, a small plastic container or bottle, and a balloon that you can get from a party shop in Singapore. Insert the funnel into the mouth of the bottle and slowly pour flour into the container until it’s about half full. Next, blow the balloon until it’s as big as the size of your kid’s head. Slowly stretch open the balloon and pour the bottle with the flour into the balloon. Once all the flour is in the balloon, carefully detach it from the bottle and let the air out of the balloon very slowly until some of the flour starts to come out of the balloon. Then, tie the end of the balloon as usual. You can have your child draw a smiley on the balloon to help relieve stress.

2. Balloon inflation experiment

Use a small bottle and pour some vinegar until it’s about half full. Then, spoon some baking soda into a balloon until it’s halfway full. Slowly bring the opening of the balloon over the mouth of the bottle. Once the balloon has covered the bottle’s mouth, lift the balloon to let out the baking soda into the bottle. Once the powder mixes with the vinegar, it will inflate the balloon due to the acid-base reaction from the baking soda and vinegar.

3. Balloon puppet show

Need some entertainment at home? Your kids can get creative with them and come up with different characters using only the balloons they gathered from the last birthday party they attended. Have them draw faces or cut out art paper to create different characters for a puppet show at home.

4. Balloon volleyball

If you have ample space in your yard, it would be fun to play a game of balloon volleyball with your kids. It’s a fun way to bond with the whole family since everyone can join. All you need to do is simply hit the balloon back and forth without letting it fall to the ground.

5. Balloon-powered Lego car

If your kids have Lego sets, you can help them build a car out of the Lego blocks. Leave a small window open to allow you to insert a balloon inside the Lego car. Place the open side of the balloon facing outward and then blow up the balloon.

This is another way of experimenting with balloons since your kids can discover for themselves how the balloon powers the Lego car and how the weight of the toy affects the distance it can travel.

Conclusion

You can have lots of fun with balloons. All you need is to just be creative about it.
