The Science of Art

There are endless uses for balloons in arts and crafts

By thinking outside the box, we have devised a range of demonstration lessons that you can use to start getting creating.
 

Working with children for the community

​

In collaboration with a local school in Rugby, UK, we have created a series of activities in which balloons are central.

 

You may have seen - or tried - some of these exercises before, but the purpose of teaming up with a school was to create a series of lessons and activities with set learning objectives, whilst having fun (by the way, if you haven't tried these cool experiments in which you can learn science through balloons, we would strongly encourage you to do so). 

 

The activities you'll see below are created by children for the community, which means everyone can try and create some new cool decorations whenever they are - perfect for crafting beginners or experts, no matter your age!

​

Here is a list of experiments we have lined up for filming over the coming months so that you can follow along with us. Please bear with us whilst we work on creating our educational materials.
