Helium balloons are an affordable way to add a whimsical touch to almost any celebration, but transporting balloons all over town can be kind of annoying. Now, Balloon Time makes DIY party decor a breeze with a portable helium tank kit that you can use to blow up balloons whenever you want. The kit is easy to use and includes an assortment of latex balloons and a spool of curling ribbon as a bonus. Visit Simply Inspired to see what I did with my Balloon Time kit and check out the Balloon Time website for great party ideas like the Mother’s Day flower balloons pictured above.

A Printable Escape Room You Can Play at Home

It’s the time of year when I write this that no one really wants to be outside where I live because it is just too hot. But we still want to make things fun while we’re stuck inside all day. 

Escape rooms at home are a great way to give kids a little fun challenge, and they’re great for small groups of kids to work on together, just for a fun afternoon activity or to build a birthday party or other special event around. 

The best kinds of escape rooms are the ones that are totally done for you, like this zoo themed one from In the Playroom. 

It opens with kids visiting the safari zoo, and somehow they are locked in the zoo and have to figure out how to get out before the zookeepers come back. 

This set of printables has absolutely everything you need to complete the game, including details kids will love like a zoo admission ticket and certificate of completion for when they figure out the code to get out of the zoo. 

In between they’ll solve puzzles with secret codes, go through a maze and match animals to letters to crack another code to finish the puzzle. 

All of the pieces are really cute and I think this will engage kids of a variety of ages. Little kids might need a little help with the puzzles, but it should be fun for grown ups to play along, too. And if you or your kids are having trouble with any of the clues, the PDF also includes the solutions so you can help them crack the case without having to think too much about it. 

This free download is available to subscribers, so head on over to In the Playroom to sign up and download this great zoo escape room to play with your kids today.
