Birthday Balloons Bunch

Float away with this bunch of birthday balloons, gathered together by their strings and tied off in a neat ribbon bow at the bottom. The balloons come in different sizes, with a few star shapes and a curling ribbon tucked among them, so there is plenty of room to mix and match colors. Each big, rounded balloon is its own open shape, which makes this page wonderfully easy for toddlers and preschoolers who are still learning to stay inside the lines. Older kids can add stripes, polka dots, or a shiny highlight to give each balloon a glossy look. Did you know the first rubber balloons were made nearly two hundred years ago, long before they became a birthday must-have? Balloons float because they are filled with light air, and a bunch like this one is one of the easiest party decorations to make. Print it on US Letter or A4 and pick a different bright shade for every balloon.
