- main big ball;
- many small rubber balls;
- a plastic cup or box from Pringles;
- hand pump;
- vacuum cleaner;
- ribbons.
Crafting workshop:
- First you need to inflate a large balloon. When its walls are stretched, they will become more elastic. This is most conveniently done with a vacuum cleaner, attaching the part from which the air is blown out.
- Then take a plastic or large plastic cup, cut the bottom, or use a Pringles cardboard sleeve. It is cut in half and the bottom is removed from one part. Then you will have 2 auxiliary blanks.
- They will help inflate balls of the same size. Two people can do it. Inflate in the usual way, but it is easier to do this with a dedicated hand-held balloon pump. Tie each piece with a ribbon.
- Now put three balloons on the bottom, slightly inflate the balloon and insert a pre-prepared cup without a bottom or a Pringles blank into the neck of this large balloon.
- Insert the next inflated balloon here, place another on it and push this upper lower one.
- Then take another ball and in the same way push inside the one that is in a cardboard or plastic blank.
- Look, maybe it's time to blow up the big balloon a little more. Do it.
Now put a few more balloons inside in the same way, inflate the main balloon again. Thus, fill it in and out from above, then tie with a string. They must be long enough to hang this creation.
When you fill the big ball, you can also put confetti, cut glitter or other light items inside. When you burst the balloon with your child, they will also fly out beautifully.
