Helium balloons - how do you make the party more special?

Balloon, an inconspicuous piece of rubber, foil or latex, which, when inflated, makes a wide smile on a child's face. In the past these were only one-coloured bubbles, but today's technology allows you to produce balloons in virtually any shape.

Balloons for a children's party

Knowing the cheerfulness of balloons, we can use them at any event organized for kids. There are many possibilities, and shops offer a whole plethora of colors and shapes. We will focus on the use of helium balloons, but it is worth noting at the beginning that it is not about inhaling it. This game gives funny effects in the form of a squeaky voice, but can be dangerous to health. An overdose of gas can cause unconsciousness, lung damage and many other serious complications. Uncontrolled play by children can be tragic and should not be allowed to happen.

Besides this one aspect, helium balloons are not dangerous and can be a nice attraction at a children's party, of course under the watchful eye of adults.

Some ideas for using their properties:

Decoration. Here we probably have the greatest possibilities. You can buy a lot of helium balloons and simply let them into the room to make a colourful decoration. You can tie bundles of balloons to chairs or other elements or place a large, golden inscription in the centre, e.g. with a child's name. There are also balloons with glitter inside, or with tiny LED lights. At the ends of the hanging ribbons you can additionally hang candies, bows, flowers or small mascots.

Balloons with puzzles. Long ribbons can be attached to balloons hanging from the ceiling, on which cards with questions, puzzles or tasks can be hung, depending on the game you've invented. You can also draw numbers corresponding to the lottery phantom or the name of the person to whom you give the balloon.

Balloon as a gift. Such an accent can end the party. When going home, a party participant will receive a balloon as a gift. Thanks to that every child will come out with a smile. If we organize a birthday party for our child, we can also arrange with the invited guests that instead of e.g. sweets or flowers, everyone will bring a balloon. It's a small birthday party, priceless.

A surprise balloon. Recently, there is something like balloon mail in the offer of shops. We order a gift in the form of a cardboard box from which the balloons pop up when opened. There may be one or several and additionally they may have a special dedication. Attraction rather for older kids, kids can experience unnecessary stress and the party will end with a trail.

Of course, during such a children's party the most important thing is to have fun, but safety is nevertheless important. That is why games with helium-filled balloons should take place under adult supervision. It is also important to buy such balloons only from reliable sellers. There are cases of filling up balloons with hydrogen that is cheaper than helium. The problem is that helium is non-flammable, while hydrogen, on the contrary, and a puncture in the balloon can cause a fire. So it is best to buy balloons from an official company that issues a bill or invoice and guarantees your goods
