About This Project

Get ready for a super fun flight adventure! Stretch a string between two chairs and tape a straw to a balloon. Use a clothespin to hold it in place. When you're ready, release the clothespin and watch the balloon zoom across the string like it's flying through the air! It's a high-flying, string-powered craft that's sure to make you giggle and learn about physics at the same time!

This project is perfect for:
  • Science Experiments
  • Physics Learning
  • STEM Activities
  • Flight Adventures
  • Indoor Active Play
