From a single balloon on a string to glittering foil balloon arrangements to intricate balloon sculptures of clouds, play with balloons is something everyone can enjoy. Blowing up a balloon improves lung capacity. Tying a ribbon to the end of a balloon bouquet develops fine motor skills. Kneading a balloon filled with flour promotes sensory play and relieves stress. And there’s nothing like a water balloon to make a good prank. Balloons stem from and encourage creativity, experimentation, and innovation.
