We had a ball(oon) in Baby Book Club today reading Mick Inkpen's The Blue Balloon. There was suspense and emotions aplenty while we feared the eponymous balloon might pop when the characters squeezed and squashed and crushed it. There was wonder and delight when the heroes took off and landed in foreign lands.
And then there was laughter when we took out our own balloons and made all sorts of ridiculous noises with them, emptied them out in our faces, punched them, kicked them, shook them and played conkers with them. It was a brilliant moment of experimentation and play which hopefully continued later on at home...
As always, here are the links to the songs and videos!
