Here's a super easy activity idea from Carolyn Clegg. Balloons are definitely heaps of fun, but can also be choking hazards so remember to watch your child closely and pick up any pieces of broken balloons. Have fun!

Seriously, this is the easiest activity ever. In a desperate attempt to cook supper in peace just once, I tied a piece of string to a balloon and taped the end of that string to the ceiling so the balloon was around chest height to my daughter. That’s it.

Supplies for the easiest fun ever

The irony of this one is I got so distracted listening to my daughter laugh in delight while hitting and chasing this balloon around that I had to stop what I was doing and just watch!
