Our hot air balloon! You filled it with air (by running back and forth) and then let it sit in the sun. After an hour or so it floats like it was filled with helium. It can really get going in the breeze, and it could float around with a full water bottle attached to it. I got my exercise chasing it down the street until I found something heavier to tie it too. The kids had lots of fun with it.
Haha that's awesome! It that just a trash bag?? I'll totally try that!
ReplyDeleteThat does look fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday!

Genius! Such a cool idea. Thanks for sharing. Happy WW!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. That looks pretty awesome. :) I wonder how many it'd take to float a 2 year old....
ReplyDeleteThis was a 9 foot tube made out of a material just like trash bags. You could do the same thing with a trash bag, it just wouldn't be as big. It came in a Science in a Nutshell Kit (Flight- From Gliders to Jets). We may try taping a few bags together to see how well it would work! I would guess 5-6 might fly a lightweight toddler (but don't turn into balloon boy, lol!).
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool idea.
