Types of Fun Balloon Art and How to Make Them

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Balloon art is created by twisting long, stick-shaped balloons into a single piece.

Watching someone make it sparks curiosity and excitement in both kids and adults as they wonder, “What are they making?” So this time, we’ve gathered a variety of balloon art ideas.

We’ve included videos as well, so use them as a reference and try making these not only at preschools and kindergartens, but also at home.

You can give the finished pieces to children as gifts, decorate rooms for events and occasions, or even use them during play—so much fun! It does take some practice, but if you make them right in front of the kids, their eyes will surely light up and they’ll be thrilled! Definitely give it a try.

Balloon Art: How to Make Bones [Simple Guide]

This is a balloon art piece of a bone.

It’s balloon art where you just twist the ends.

If you make it with a balloon other than white, it’s hard to tell what it is at first glance, but when someone asks, “What’s that?” and you answer, “A bone,” it’s guaranteed to get a laugh! If you’ve got extra white balloons, turn them all into bones!
