Broadway Balloons Craft Activity

I love this Balloons Over Broadway Craft as an activity to pair with the book, “Balloons Over Broadway,” by Melissa Sweet. It’s great for the month of November and around Thanksgiving time! Students will write what type of balloon they would create after making their very own tiger balloon craft! Makes a great fall themed bulletin board!

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
• Coloring templates (a separate 3 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:

• study on the letter b
• practicing fine motor skills
• bulletin boards
• door and hallway decorations
• small group station
• pair it with a worksheet, activity, or book
• reward or class party
