What you need:

  • 1 balloon
  • 1 square Box
  • 4 pipe cleaner
  • Makers
  • Brown construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Tape / Glue

What you do:

1.     Cut off the top of the square box with your scissors to make the basket of your hot air balloon.

2.     Cover the sides of the box with brown construction paper.  Glue or tape it on securely.  Then with a brown maker draw lines on the paper to make it look more like a basket.

3.     Tape a pipe cleaner inside each corner of the box.  They will hold up the balloon.

4.     Blow up your balloon until it reaches the size that your want.  Tie the balloon.

5.     Decorate the balloon in any design that you want with the markers.

6.     Tape the top end of the pipe cleaners to the sides of the balloon.  Be careful the balloon can bust.

Now your Webkinz will be ready to float around in their hot air balloon!

 

Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!

    Instead of a box, I would use a takeout carton. those are good for this kind of stuff. Anyway, I am definitely going to try this!

    I can’t believe they used it! This is so exciting! Thanks for all the great comments everyone!

    Well, you can’t exactly head over to your local store and by a bottle of helium. The only place I know where you can get helium is in dollar stores that fill balloons up with helium for you out of their machine. I guess you’d have to use the helium balloon from the dollar store then.

    Cute, and I like the background! But one hellium filled balloon is not going to float a Webkinz, not even a LittleKinz. Trust me, I’ve tried it. It takes several balloons to make a pet just barely get off the ground, and who knows how many to make them really float. Don’t get me wrong, it is cute, I’m just frustrated right now.

    Icewolf that’s a great idea! :D Or maybe tie a bunch or hellium (I don’t know how to spell it :P) filled balloons to it!

      Hey Cinderpelt! That’s what I ment! Some hellium filled balloons tied to it! Do you read Warriors? I LOVE those books! Right now I am waiting for the most recent book to come out, The Forgoten Warrior. It comes out sometime in november. *Peace, Love and Hope, Icewolf*

    So awesome! It would really fly if you put hellium (don’t know how to spell that) in it! Gotta go! *Peace, Love and Hope, Icewolf*
