Dr. Seuss Inspired Hot Air Balloon Craft

Here are the steps to make the hot air balloon:

Start by cutting paper and creating balloon shapes, draw a 2D balloon shape on the surface of the paper. Use scissors to cut along the outlines, and continue this process until you have four paper balloons (you can choose colored paper such as white, blue, red, and yellow to match Dr. Seuss’s style). The colors of these paper balloons can be different or the same.

Fold the 2D balloons you just made and glue their creases together. An easier way to understand is to glue the right side of one balloon to the left side of another balloon..
Now it’s time for the presentation using the string you prepared earlier. Take the string and attach it vertically, looping it through the seams of the 3D balloon. Remember to leave a little extra at the top to attach it to the ceiling or wherever you prefer.
Next, glue the wings of the balloon together to make them look neater. Make sure the string is sandwiched in the middle of the wings and not exposed.

Before attaching the balloon, you can paint and decorate your paper cup with cute and vibrant colors. Take inspiration from Dr. Seuss, using colors like green, red, white, and yellow. You can also stick decorative decals onto the body of the cup. Feel free to refer to our Dr. Seuss images for inspiration if needed

Onto the most important part – attaching the paper cups to the balloon to complete your hot air balloon. Punch two holes in the cup’s top and thread the ends of the string through these holes. Tie and secure the ends of the string inside the cup.
Now, go ahead and attach the hot air balloons you just created to the ceiling. You can use tape or glue, but I recommend using tape as it adheres better in an inverted environment like this.
