Nothing Beats the Helium Balloon for High Flying Fun
In a child’s mind, there is nothing as fabulous as watching the weightlessness of a helium balloon floating in the air. You can add this high-flying fun to any party now, as helium tanks and balloon kits are available for rent or purchase in several party supply stores. You’ll want to inflate the helium balloons just before the party. If you want to go all out for this birthday, you could even hire a professional clown to entertain the kids.
Clowns are always a great addition to a birthday party, and if they can show the kids a trick like making balloon animals, everyone will have a fun time. Having the kids decorate their own balloons is an inexpensive way to combine a fun activity with something they can take home from the party. The balloons can be decorated with colored markers, paper, and tape to make a variety of silly creatures. You can also make up fun games to play with the balloons, and it’s always great fun for youngsters to learn that old static electricity trick where you make a balloon stick to you.
Games and More
Consider making your helium filled balloons serve as more than just decorations. You could have a relay race where the kids must pass the balloons from person to person without using their hands. The unpredictable movement of the floating balloons will make this a challenge for any age.
Another contest can be to sit on the balloons until they pop. Be prepared for lots of loud popping noises and plenty of laughter. Balloons are a simple idea to decorate a party and really give that instant party look, so think about blowing up some extra balloons or renting a helium tank the next time you host a birthday party.
