Beat the Heat with Water Balloons

Summer Fun with Water Balloons

Who doesn't love water balloons?  They are one of the best toys for summer fun!  The only thing I don't care for is filling them, but it's a small price to pay for a ton of fun.  Water balloons are the perfect toy to help beat the heat and play outside during the summer.  Of course we love traditional games with water balloons like a good old fashioned water balloon fight.  We also love experimenting with water balloons and creating new ways to play with them.  

6 Unique Ways to Play with Water Balloons

Ice Bowling:

We've played this chilly gross motor game a couple of times, and it is guaranteed fun!  Make frozen bowling balls by freezing large balloons filled with water over night.

Water Balloons in the Play Pool:

This summer sensory activity is so simple.  Fill up water balloons and toss them into the play pool.  Can you pop a water balloon in a pool of water?

Water Balloon Eruptions:

Fill water balloons with vinegar and toss into a pool of baking soda.  Add coloring for more super cool eruptions.

Colored Water Balloon Play:

Our favorite activity from this summer!  Fill balloons with colored water, then pop in a pool of water to watch the colors mix.  Awesome summer science for kids!

Water Balloon Basketball:

We invited our playgroup over for a water balloon play date, and one of our favorite games was water balloon basketball!

Water Balloons filled with Water Beads:

Fill water balloons with water beads for a whole new sensory activity.  Freeze the water bead filled balloons for added summer fun.
