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!

Paint On

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

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.

Water Balloon Paint Squirt

Water Balloon Squirt! from Growing a Jeweled Rose is the perfect summer activity for kids. Does it get any better than this activity? Fill balloons with water, add a bit of paint, and tie up. Poke a hole in the balloon with a pin or even a sharp pencil, then squeeze onto your canvas of choice.

Water Balloon Bowling

Set up activity cones and bowl the balloon! Kids love this activity!

Water Balloon Toss

Set up a simple, old fashioned water balloon toss!

Water Balloon Whack

When I saw this Water Balloon Piñata idea on Pinterest, I knew my boys would be all over it!

Water BalloonFreeze

Create these super cool ice water balloons! Add a little color to your winter or cool down during the warmer summer months.

Best,
Marnie
