The Best Balloon Boat

The Best Balloon Boat is the coolest boat that you've ever seen. While you can't actually ride on this recycled craft, you can watch it zoom across the water right in front of you. Parents will love this learning activity that teaches all about air and propulsion. Don't forget that you can do more with a balloon besides just tie it on a string. It becomes the engine for this craft made with recycled materials. Grab an old plastic container, fill up a pool, and see if you've made a boat that floats or sinks.
