Kids will get a kick out of seeing these balloons come to life.  They don’t take a long time to put together but require the furnace fan to be on.

Supplies you’ll need:

• Balloons (preferably small ones)
• Permanent markers
• Tissue paper
• Card stock
• Tape (preferably double-sided)
• Furnace vent

Steps:

1. Prepare your balloon’s shoes by cutting a shoe shape out of card stock.  Use this shape as a stencil.  Trace the stencil once and flip the stencil over.  Line the bottoms of the shoes and trace a second time.  Cut the whole piece out leaving the bottoms of the shoes intact.  Like this: Use this piece as a stencil to make a second shoe.
2. Fold each piece in half. 
3. Cut tissue paper into 2 rectangles about 5” x 1 ½”.  Tape a piece into each shoe. 
4. Time to prepare the balloons, blow a balloon up and tie it shut.  Draw on a face with permanent markers.
5. Tape legs on to balloon and set it on a furnace vent.
6. Flip the furnace fan on and watch them go.

Turn some music on and join in the fun!
