Our family LOVES balloons. I am incredibly surprised just how much fun can come from balloons. Inside our home, you can find our tween practicing soccer drills with a balloon while the twins launch balloons as far as they can punch them. Balloons- tons of fun and no broken glass.

Whether you are looking for balloon crafts, gifts or games, you can surprise someone special with our roundup of 18 fabulous balloon ideas.
