We chose to make the balloons the only thing in the box, but you could add in little toys and smaller gifts within the box as well and make the balloons the wrapping and celebration part.
Now let’s look at how we created this fun money balloon gift for kids…
Step 1
Roll the $1 bills into small cylinders and insert into a balloon. You’ll need one balloon for each $1 bill.
Money Gift Tip: I like to send $1 for every year of the child’s age.
Step 2
Blow up the balloons, and you’ll see the money bouncing around!
Step 3
Throw the balloons into a box. I added in some empty balloons, so the kiddo really has to search to find the money!
Step 4
Add in a gift message like a homemade card or sign that could be used at home or out in the yard on the special day.
Step 5
Tape up the box and add the proper postage and send it on its way to your gift recipient.
