About this resource
Description
Cutting out shapes is a fun way for young children to build hand strength and learn shape words. These balloon cut outs give preschool, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students big oval balloons to color, decorate and cut. They are perfect for birthdays, class parties, bulletin boards and simple art projects.
This balloon cut outs activity includes a page of four big balloons to decorate, a four-page My Birthday Book with balloons for drawing and writing, and a page of twelve little balloons. Children color the little balloons in a red, blue, red, blue pattern, cut them out, and glue them in a row to make a party garland. Each balloon is drawn with a thick black line that is easy to follow with scissors. Print the pages on cardstock for sturdy balloons that last all year long.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page for teachers
- Big Balloons page with four balloons to decorate
- My Birthday Book: cover plus My Party, My Cake and My Gift pages
- Little Balloons page with twelve balloons for a color pattern garland
Why These Birthday Balloon Templates Help Kids
First, cutting along a curved line builds fine motor control and scissor skills. Second, coloring the balloons in an AB pattern adds a quick math lesson about patterns and the oval shape. Third, writing and drawing about their own birthday gives young learners a joyful reason to write.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the balloon cut outs to celebrate student birthdays, to decorate a classroom door, or as an art center choice. Children can write their names and birthdays on the big balloons for a birthday bulletin board. At home, families can use the birthday balloon templates to make cards or party decorations together.
