Preschool Printables
I had a hard time finding some Hot Air Balloon printables, so I made a (very!) few for M in this pack:
Hot Air Balloon Printables
It contains a shape matching printable - match the hot air balloon to it's chase vehicle (which is a crew that follows each balloon around to help in land and pack up after it's flight).
It also has a sheet of small blank balloons which I drew different patterns on, copied, laminated, and had M match.
There is also a set of large blank balloons which we used for our art project below, and a set of colored balloons which I laminated and used as lacing cards.
Yes, she has "incorrect" pencil grip. No, I'm not working hard at correcting it. It's a natural step in the pre-writing process, and she'll grow out of it when she's ready. |

Filling our sensory balloons with a funnel |
Sensory Balloons - we filled pairs of balloons with rice, beans, sugar, nuts, and coffee grounds. She had to match the pairs just by feeling. Source. |
Painting a Hot Air Balloon printout with an inflated balloon |
We went last Saturday to one of the Balloon Glows - a nighttime event at which you get to see all the balloons light up together as they stay stationary on the ground. There was a cool fireworks show afterwards as well.
I also tried taking the kids to a morning mass ascenscion, but unfortunately it was a rainy day and the launch was cancelled. We had tickets to a Teacher Appreciation event in the nearby Balloon Museum though, so we enjoyed checking out the museum and doing some of the activities they had set out for kids.
