A Homemade Hot Air Balloon

Child's Play Little Explorer

Hello sweet friends,

We are searching for spring and all of it’s warm sunshiny goodness.

My toddler boy is on the lookout.

Are you?

Everything in me is searching for the light of the Lord.  I am hungry for it.

I made this “hot air balloon” for Wynn using a toy basket and big bunch of helium balloons from our local grocery store.

If you want to bring a heap-load of joy to your little one for less than $20, bring home a big bunch of balloons in bright colors.  Or go a step further and snuggle up together with the Disney movie, “UP,” and a bowl of warm popcorn.  Then build a hellium hot air balloon with your little one.  Add a parascope (empty paper towel roll) and keep an eye out for the good things . . . spring, our Lord, His light and life abundant.
