OK, so the balloons and the bubbles you have to fork out for at the supermarket, but it is so seriously worth it. A couple of dollars and you've got yourself the tools for hours of endless fun with your kids.
As a fitness trainer, I'm just in love with the idea of the balloons too. There's quite a bit of research around to suggest that they stimulate movement patterns and develop strength, balance and agility. Take a look here at this very scientific study done by PTA Global:
I think you get the idea. Kids love simple stuff and idea of keeping a balloon up in the air rates pretty highly. We had fun at our house this morning blowing up giant balloons and then letting them go and watching F1 & Z2 chase them hopelessly around trying to catch them. It was the source of enormous laughter and fun for those of use that walk to 2 lets, but for our 4 legged pal Deco, it was unfortunately a morning of terror. Especially when it was decided that tying them up and sitting on them till bursting was the way to go. (Dogs don't love it).
The bubbles are great too. More is better and learning to blow them is such a challenge with the little ones. I bought the bulk pack that I think are intended as party prizes, but it means that I always have them on hand in a crisis and I can almost guarantee them as a cure for tears in almost every situation.
So, with the little ones get with the B's and bang about having a ball with balloons and bubbles!!
