She brought a package of balloons yesterday, and that pretty much occupied her day. She can blow them up by herself, but has a hard time tying the end. I finally made her quit because her index finger (the one she wraps the end around) was turning black from cutting off the circulation.
I tied a few for her, and this is what she created.
After that, she decided she wanted to make water balloons, but we couldn't figure out how to get water in the balloons. I'm sure I have made them in the past, but didn't have a clue how to get the water in and the air out! She squirted water all over the bathroom, and I squirted water all over the kitchen, trying to use the faucet. She finally went outside with some balloons and her water bottle and discovered she could squeeze (or stomp on) the water bottle to force water in the balloon. She finally got four small water balloons made.
Afterwards, I googled how to make water balloons, and that is exactly the way they showed it on a couple of YouTube videos.

They look like they are the size of black birds.
To fill the balloons, you don't blow them up first, but you put the balloon end right over the end of the spigot. Then turn on the spigot until you have it as full as you want it. Then turn it off and pinch the balloon and take it off. and tie the end.
Kasey had all kinds of learning going on with those balloon lessons & a creative grandma.
