One of the least expensive and the best sources of fun for kids can be balloons. Of course, you have to be careful when the balloons burst to ensure they don’t put the pieces in their mouth.
But the fact is that kids just love having fun playing with balloons. Just blow a few of them and you can bounce them around together. Its like playing volleyball with the balloons.
It also helps kids develop anticipation as they don’t come to you as fast as a ball does. For the little ones, you can use balloons to teach the concept of catching, as the balloon moves slow enough for them to catch easily.
Just make sure you have an air-pump to inflate them, as it can be quite painful to blow them using your mouth.
