Make a hot air balloon with children that flies
Especially now, when the days are getting longer and the children are spending longer outside, people are always looking for varied and exciting games. If your child is enthusiastic about the floating balloons, you can make a hot air balloon together that can actually fly. With it, long hours of fun in the fresh air are guaranteed. To get it in the air, you simply need a balloon with helium, a paper basket, a plastic cup or a cardboard growing cup. To ensure that your child has fun for a long time, you must not forget a long string, otherwise the balloon will quickly fly away.
For the next birthday or upcoming garden party, you and your child can also make a real hot air balloon that rises with hot air. You don't need a real flame for this, just a hairdryer and a large garbage bag. Cut a rim about 5 centimeters wide from a plastic cup. Do not tape it too tightly into the opening of the trash bag. The plastic rim will serve as an opening for filling. Now you can blow hot air into the garbage bag with the hairdryer. Tie the balloon to a kite string and let the great balloon rise high. Once the hot air has cooled down, the balloon will float down on its own.
