Zipping Balloon

We had some balloons sitting around, so while my son was in a sort of bored mood the other day, I took one out to have some fun. I simply blew up the balloon and let the air out, and he really delighted in seeing the balloon go "zipping" around the house.













We finally decided to draw on the balloon. I asked Joey what he thought would happen to the faces we drew once the air went out of the balloon, and he said "they'll get smaller!"












Of course the faces got smaller, and he was so very excited to see his prediction was correct. We all had a lot of fun with this activity; it was worth blowing up that balloon again and again to see how excited he was!
