Hours of Fun in Just Minutes!

It is always nice to find quick and simple crafts made with everyday items.  However, it is even better if they entertain kids for hours!  These easy balloon people can be put together in 2-3 minutes and kids seem to love that they always land on their feet!

Materials
Light cardboard (old cereal box works great)
Balloon
Scissors, permanent markers

Procedure
1. Blow up a balloon and tie off with a knot
2. Cut a heart out of heavy cardboard.  Size isn't super important, but should be in proportion to the balloon (see the picture for a general idea).
3. Punch a small hole at the pointy end of the heart and pull the balloon knot through.  Tape to secure on the underside of the heart.
4. Let kids decorate their balloon people with a permanent marker
5. Toss your balloon person into the air and be amazed as they always land on their feet!
