Wobble Balloons
Here’s a fun and surprising tip to create adorable little characters that wobble without ever falling over! By inserting a marble into a balloon, children can easily make funny wobblers in bright colors. A quick draw to add a mouth, two googly eyes, a few ribbons for hair… and there you have a round character ready to dance on the table!
An original and entertaining activity, perfect for keeping children occupied during a birthday party, a creative workshop at home, or in the classroom.
How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make a wobble ball, you need:
- a colored balloon
- a glass marble
- an elastic band
- 2 moveable eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- colored ribbon
- a black marker
- adhesive dots
- a pair of scissors
Step 1
Insert a glass marble into a colored balloon.
Step 2
Place the marble at the bottom of the balloon while holding it with an elastic band.
Step 3
Turn the balloon to place the rubber band inside.
Step 4
Here is the result obtained at this step.
Step 5
Inflate the balloon and then tie a knot. The balloon will stay in place thanks to the weight of the bead.
Step 6
Stick 2 movable eyes with adhesive dots and then draw a smile with a black marker.
Step 7
Cut a piece of colored ribbon about 20 cm long and then tie it around the balloon's tail.
Step 8
Frizzle the ribbon by sliding it along the blade of a pair of scissors.
To thicken the hair and add more volume, add some pieces of ribbon!
Step 9
Thanks to the weight of the marble in the balloon, the character will tilt from left to right but will always return to its initial position!

Great activity! My children loved making their little wobble balloons. It's easy, quick, and really fun. Perfect for a snack or a creative workshop at home!
Super activité ! Mes enfants ont adoré créer leurs petits ballons culbuto. C’est facile, rapide et vraiment amusant. Parfait pour un goûter ou un atelier créatif à la maison !
When we inflate the balloon, the ball comes out the other side and the elastic snaps inside 1 out of 2 times. I don't understand what we are doing wrong??
Lorsque l'on gonfle le ballon, la bille sort de l'autre côté et l'élastique claque à l'intérieur 1x/2. Je ne comprends pas ce que nous faisons mal ??
