Materials: Balloons
Paper: white, colored or construction
Poster paper
Double-sided tape
Clear tape
Hole punch
Pennies
Scissors
Permanent markers
Yarn - Blow up the balloons and tie them off.
- To make feet, draw and cut out a heart shape on the poster paper. Near the pointed end of the heart, punch a hole. Insert the balloon neck through the hole and tape it off (figure A). Tape pennies underneath the bottom of the feet for balance so your people will not fall over.
- To make the arms, draw and cut them out of paper (figure B). Use double-sided tape to stick them to the sides of the balloon.
- To make ears, draw and cut 2 ears out of paper and use double-sided tape to attach them to the sides of the balloon.
- Continue on in this manner to make the eyes, nose and mouth if desired.
- To make hair, draw hair on or use double-sided tape to attach yarn (figure C).
- Decorate features with a marker if you need extra detail (figure D). What about clothes? Draw those on too!
Tips: - Be careful when playing with balloons because they can be a choking hazard.
- Have an adult supervise when using scissors.

Ms. Farroch told the DIY kids that people in the hospital love to have children visit. Children are happy, have a lot to talk about and the patients like hearing about what the children do in school, etc. Taking them gifts you make really brings some cheer into their lives.
