Fun with Balloons

Ellie has been fascinated with balloons lately.  She knows where we keep them and will open the closet door and say “Ellie balloon, balloon Ellie, please”.  She can’t blow them up herself yet, but she does try.  I showed her that balloons can sing and she thought it was funny, that air comes rushing out and blows in her face when  you don’t hold on tight.   We also experimented with chalk.  Did you know that when the balloon is big, you can’t really see the chalk face, but as you slowly let out the air the face appears?  Ellie and I did this for atleast 10 minutes.
