Three, two, one – and suddenly it's raining balloons! This balloon coloring page shows a whole crowd of kids leaping into the air. Print it for free and fill your New Year's party with color.
Why this balloon shower keeps kids busy
Up under the wooden roof beams, balloons are still packed together, while others are already floating down. Below, kids jump with their arms in the air, wearing striped shirts, polka dots, stars and wild curls. Bunting, hanging lamps and a plank floor complete the party room. With so many balloons, there's lots of room to play with colors.
🖨️ Step by Step: How to Print It Best
Click “Print” on the right, or download the image or PDF.
Letter or A4 in portrait, scaling set to “Fit to page” – the picture fits the sheet perfectly.
Regular printer paper is fine for colored pencils; for paint, use thicker paper (65–110 lb).
Grab your crayons and go – then give the finished picture a spot on the fridge!
Why do some balloons float?
Balloons you blow up with your mouth slowly sink to the floor – just like in this picture. Fill them with helium instead and they float up, because that gas is lighter than air. Try this fun experiment: rub a balloon on your hair – your hair stands up, and the balloon can even stick to the wall! That's static electricity created by rubbing. After the party, pick up popped balloon pieces right away so little kids can't put them in their mouths.
Fun ideas with this picture
Count all the balloons together and color every tenth one in a special color. At a kids' party, the finished page makes a great welcome sign for the door.
