Balloon Time

When my kids were little and we were couped up in the house from either winter weather or too hot in the summer weather, I would blow up some balloons for them to play with. They loved it and it was great cheap entertainment. It was a nice break from their usual toys and helped kill bordem. It also served as a great way to get them up and active. Playing with balloons is an activity that works for a wide span of ages.

So, keep a package of balloons handy for some cheap fun and exercise. A package of balloons also travels light and easy....bring them on vacation. They are great fun while camping or in a boring hotel room. Make up games like "don't let the balloon touch the floor" and "balloon volley ball" using a string for a net.
