How to Make a punching Balloon Toy

This simple homemade toy can provide fun for all ages. It is simply a balloon on a string and is as easy to make as one, two, three. All you need is some string and a full balloon.

What you’ll need:

A full balloon

A piece of string

A balloon pump (this is not necessary but makes blowing it up a lot easier)

Scissors

Steps:

1.      blow up a balloon

2.      cut a string about the length of your arm span

3.      tie one end of the string to the mouth of the balloon

4.      make a adjustable knot at the other end big enough for your wrist

Put it on your wrist and use your hand as a paddle to hit the balloon. Or you can bounce it up a wall or closed door. Or make up your own way to play with it, but always have fun!
