How to Make Alphabet Balloons
Alphabet Balloons are a quick and inexpensive crafting project that are ideal for a rainy day. Transform a pack of regular balloons into tools for teaching young children their ABCs, playing word games, or for spelling practice. For a party or celebration, you can also decorate with them by spelling out a special word or name. This project is virtually mess-free. This means that you'll spend less time cleaning up and more time creating.

1
Inflate at least 26 colorful balloons using your own breath or a helium tank; you'll have one for each letter of the alphabet. To create a single word or spell out a name, inflate as many balloons as are necessary. Tie the ends of each one and attach decorative string to helium-filled balloons to keep them from floating away.

Stick large-sized alphabet stickers onto each balloon. Be careful not to pop the balloon in the process.

Use permanent markers to draw letters onto the balloons if you don't have stickers. Permanent marker will dry quickly and isn't likely to rub off onto hands and clothing.
