These 30 cm balloons are a versatile classroom and craft essential, ideal for papier mâché projects, celebrations, and creative art experiences. Made from high-quality latex, these balloons can be used in a wide range of activities, from craft modelling and sensory play to party decorations and prizes.
In art and craft sessions, children can create imaginative forms by layering papier mâché over the surface of a blown-up balloon. Once dried, simply pop the balloon to reveal a perfectly rounded structure ready to be decorated. Balloons are also perfect for string art – wrap string coated in PVA glue around an inflated balloon, let it dry, then pop the balloon to create a delicate, handmade ornament. These can be strung together to create unique classroom decorations.
They’re also ideal for special occasions such as birthday celebrations, used as giveaways, hidden treat holders, or decorated with faces to create balloon characters using other craft items. A must-have resource for any art room or early childhood setting, balloons encourage creative exploration and hands-on engagement.
WARNING! Children under 8 years old can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision is required. Keep uninflated balloons away from children. Discard broken balloons immediately.
