2. Balloon Tennis Kit

What you need:

  • Paper plates
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Balloons
  • Tape

Instructions:

  1. Tape a Popsicle stick to the back of a paper plate so that the paper plate has a handle. Do this to as many paper plates as needed for each player.
  2. Blow up the balloons to use them as your playing balls.

How to play:

Set up by:

  • Finding two walls to play in between
  • Place tape from one wall to another (you can be the judge to how high; remember this will be your net so you can adjust it however you please)
  • Split into two teams with one team on either side of the tape

Play by:

  • Overhand serving a balloon over the tape line at the beginning of the game
  • The teams each return the balloon with the paddle and try to get the other team to let the balloon hit the ground on their side (just like volleyball)
  • When a team lets the balloon drop, the other team gets a point
  • Play to whatever amount of points you wish and the first team to get that many points wins!

3. Balloon Flower Vase

  • Light colored tulle
  • Ribbon (optional)
  • Flowers (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cut whatever lengths of tulle you believe is needed to wrap around the balloon and tie where the balloon ties off
  2. For some extra pizzazz, you could tie a ribbon around the tie of the balloon after putting the tulle around the balloon
  3. In light of this pizzazz, we could add a little bit more pizzazz into that with fake flowers. We could add strung flowers to the tie of the balloon.
