Let's Talk About Balloons!

Hi there! Today, we are going to learn about balloons, especially an oval balloon.

What is a Balloon?

A balloon is like a little bag made of thin, stretchy rubber. When we fill it with air or helium, it can float up into the sky, just like you might see in the park or at a birthday party!

Why Do Balloons Float?

When we blow air into a balloon, it gets bigger and bigger! If we fill a balloon with helium (a special kind of gas that is lighter than air), it will float. This is because helium is lighter than the air around us, so the balloon goes up in the air! Isn't that amazing?

Shapes of Balloons

Balloons can come in many shapes! Some are round like a circle, and some can be oval like an egg. An oval balloon is longer and more stretched out than a round balloon.

Fun Fact!

Did you know that some balloons can float so high that we can’t see them anymore? But be careful! If you let go of a balloon, it might fly away! So, always hold onto your balloon when you're outside!

Conclusion

Balloons are colorful and fun! Remember, when you see one, think about how it can float up in the air and about all the shapes they can take, like our oval balloon!
