Pool Noodle Balloon Game 🎈ages 1+ 🎈 This game is so simple to make and fun for all ages!
Materials needed (affiliate links):
We first discovered this game at my grandmother’s assisted living center as a game for the elderly (who play it seated), but my boys immediately started playing it with my grandmother and I knew it would be perfect for kids as well!
Check out the boys in action in the below video:
Start but cutting standard pool noodles in half using a bread knife. Then blow up a balloon and you are good to go! There are so many variations on this game but I made it a team challenge to keep the balloon in the air as long as possible by hitting it back and forth! Such a great activity for improving visual tracking, eye-hand coordination and gross motor skills!
My 2 year old was a little too young to participate so I gave him his own balloon and he used the pool noodle to move the balloon all around our backyard.
Another variation would be to add baskets or goals and create teams who try to score points by getting the balloons in their respective goals.
