Balloons can also serve as wall decorations that symbolize children’s dreams and hopes, and our wish for them to spread their wings freely into the future.

Prepare balloons, glue, colored construction paper, and paper tape.

Inflate the balloon to the size you want, then use glue thinned with water to attach cut pieces of construction paper to about half of the balloon.

Once it’s dry, pop the balloon inside, attach paper tape as a decorative handle, and shape it to give it a three-dimensional look—that’s it.

Since the balloon is made from construction paper, be careful during transport so it doesn’t lose its shape.

A hot air balloon made with shoji paper and balloons

The balloon wall decoration, which is also recommended for celebrating new beginnings, has a three-dimensional look and is perfect for a kindergarten graduation ceremony.

Prepare balloons, shoji paper, paint, string, and an empty container.

Before you start, paint your preferred patterns on the shoji paper and let it dry.

Inflate a balloon to the size you want your hot air balloon to be, then stick the cut shoji paper onto the balloon.

When attaching the pieces, use glue diluted with water, and be sure to smooth the paper as you go so it doesn’t wrinkle.

Once you’ve covered it, let it dry for 2–3 days.

When it’s completely dry, pop the balloon inside, attach a basket made from string and the empty container, and your hot air balloon is complete.

Balloons are a familiar item for children, since they’re often used for play at daycare and preschool.

This idea involves inflating a large number of balloons and linking them together to create decorations.

The big appeal is that clustering the balloons creates a three-dimensional look and a luxurious atmosphere.

Using balloons of various sizes is a key point for enhancing the sense of depth.

It’s fun to display them as a single cluster, but arranging balloons around a main decoration after placing it also makes for a festive look.
