Balloon Puppy
Instructions: Pick any balloon color – the whackier, the better! You’ll also need tape, party ribbons or construction paper, and a marker of your choice.
Fill up the balloon with air, either on your own or with a pump. Make it as big or as small as you’d like. When you’re done, add some ears with either the party ribbon or construction paper – feel free to add a tail! Once you’ve got that, add eyes, a nose, and whiskers with the sharpie. Can you make a whole family of balloon puppies?

Explore:

Look up an overview of “Dogs” from Explora Primary School on the library’s Online Resources page.

Investigate:

1. How many breeds of dogs are there?
2. Look out your window. How many dogs did you see in 10 minutes?
3. What kinds of jobs do dogs usually have?
