Balloon Badminton

This summer was spent mostly relaxing at home, but occasionally I found energy to engage the boys in fun activities, one of which was balloon badminton.

All you need are paper plates, popsicle sticks, tape, a balloon, and something to act as a net (we used kitchen chairs).

Tape the popsicle sticks to the back of the paper plates. Have your kids hit the balloon back and forth, implementing age-appropriate rules. This was a great, practically free activity that was easy to set up and left no mess :).

Thanks Pen & Paper Flowers for the fun idea!
