  yes and then throw the balloons and let them pop and all the sequins and glitter fly around 🙂
  better to do outside of course !

With 3 girls they are sure to love this, sparkly

Love this idea and cant wait to use it with the kids

What a great idea! You could even use Rice.

  Rice would probably be safer too….and easier to clean up. I’m sure it would be much safer if a young child swallowed it. It may cause problems when it swelled but it wouldn’t be toxic, cause such bad cuts and cause internal bleeding

Great idea and alot of fun for the little ones!

Great for school holiday boredom busters.

What an interesting little activity. I do like the frozen balloon idea.

I tried this with my two today and they loved it

  That’s great! Unfortunately with some of the comments I was thinking of asking moms to remove this activity.

  I’m happy someone got some fun out of it 🙂

Sounds fun, but I would be making sure they would be played with outside so we wouldn’t have water and glitter all throughout the house.

  Yes. Totally agree. I don’t reccomend you do it inside or outside while its snowing, during a hurricane or when there’s a possibility of a tsunami.

Soundsfun but I’m weary about ballon popping in their face with glitter in it.

    You dont need to use the glitter if you dont want to. My children are 4+
    Besides we only use a small amount (as you can see in the photo its not packed with glitter)

A lovely idea. I’m always a little wary of the safety of balloons around children. i have heard of children who have choked on balloons.

  Which is why you would supervise and make sure your child doesn’t try and eat the balloon 🙂

They are very pretty, but I have to disagree about them being safe. If it bursts in a child’s face they can very easily get glitter in their eyes and stuck to their skin. Sequins aren’t safe either. Glitter seems to go everywhere when used. I gave a friend’s child a doll with glitter on its clothes. They are still finding glitter around the place. Even dry it sticks to your skin and as easily removable as you would think, especially if they decide to roll around on the floor and get yet another lot stuck on their skin and in their hair. Luckily her Mum brushed her hair backwards or it could have gone in her eyes.

  Pieces of burst balloons are considered chocking hazards, but I do not know how the sequins would be unsafe? I assume if the balloon burst the glitter would be wet and not airborne, with anything like this parental supervision is required. I think children would enjoy it as long as they are at an age where things aren’t constantly mouthed

    Ahhh The glitter is wet. We have many burst. Sometimes the kids burst them deliberately. How is it any different than allowing a child to use glitter during an art and craft activity? Glitter and sequins among other things are used regularly at childcare centres. As well as small pom poms and other choking hazards.

    I did not recommend this activity to a baby. Obviously common sense applies. Your comment is completely unnecessary and if you have a problem with this post you should go to the editor as they approved it rather than try and make me look or feel like Im putting children in danger.

Oh wow. Miss 3 will love this. Thank you

A wonderfully creative idea; thanks!.

Thanks for a fun activity for all!

You can now also buy balloons with a little led light in them for glow in the dark fun! Our kids love water balloons but I’ve never mastered putting balloons inside another. An inexpensive way to have fun.
