Water Balloon Activities for Kids

Races

Find a hill, fill the balloons, and on your mark, get set, go! Integrate science learning by filling the balloons with different amounts of water and testing the speed of the rolls! Relay races are another great variation.

Paint On

I fell in love with this Water Balloon Painting activity on Meri Cherry.

The Best Water Balloon Activities with Kids

Paint With

Squeeze a few colors of paint onto paper, fill your balloons with water, tie, and roll the balloon over the canvas.

Paint Drop

Squeeze a few colors of paint onto paper, fill your balloons with water, tie, hold above the canvas, and drop the balloon over the canvas. Point out how the paint splatter differs depending on how high or low the balloon is held over the canvas.

Water Balloon Launch

We simply used activity cones to launch our water balloons in the air to see if we could catch them and to one another to see if we could catch them. Simple fun.
