Um.. so I think these are adorable. And, so does my daughter. Plus, they are extremely easy and enjoyable to make. You seriously need to try it out. My plan is to make a ton of these little treat filled balloons and make a create a pumpkin patch for an upcoming Halloween party.
9 inch (or smaller) orange balloons
candy
black sharpie
school glue
First, stuff your balloon as full as possible before inflating. I was able to get 3-5 small treats in each balloon. Blow the balloon up and tie the end.
Glue some green party fringe around the top of the balloon to represent the stem and vines. Draw your favorite pumpkin faces onto the balloons. With the candy in the balloon, the balloon should be able to stand on the top without a problem.
I haven't done it yet, but I am planning on scattering my pumpkins all in a room and letting the kids come in and pick their pumpkins in my little pumpkin patch. I am excited and I am sure the kids will be too!

ReplyDeleteOH HOW I ADORE THIS! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I hope you try it out.
DeleteFun idea--I'm sure the kids will love it! And great for when it's too rainy to tromp through a muddy patch :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie! It is good to plan some indoor activities up here in the NW, just in case.
DeleteI love this idea! Not only would kids love them but they are super cute too.
