Ways to Use the Balloon Templates

These free printables are perfect for decorating a birthday bulletin board. Just print out the balloons on colored paper, cut them out, and glue or tape them to the bulletin board.

Add each child’s name and birthday by hand before attaching the balloons. Group them by birth month for a classroom birthday display.

The balloon templates can also be used to create birthday cards. Simply print the template onto cardstock, cut out the balloon shape, and decorate as desired.

Glue it to a piece of paper folded in half and add a birthday message inside and you’ve got a cute and easy birthday card!

Another fun way to use the balloon outlines is to create a birthday mobile.

Just print out the balloons on colored paper, cut them out, and string them up with some clear fishing line.

This makes a pretty decoration for a birthday party! Add our printable Pin the Tail on the Donkey game for an easy party activity.

You could also use them to draw a big letter into each balloon, spelling out Happy Birthday as a party banner.

Large Balloon Templates

We’ve included a few different large templates. One is a plain balloon, one includes a string and then one with two balloons together.

Choose a large balloon when you need room for coloring, a birthday message, or a short writing activity. Color the design while the sheet is flat, then cut around the outside outline.

Small Balloon Templates

The smaller balloon templates work well for bulletin boards and classroom activities when you need several cutouts. Print on colored paper for a quick display, or let each child decorate a balloon.

You can also tape the cutouts along a length of yarn to make a banner or garland.

They’re also great for tracing practice. For a reusable balloon stencil, print on cardstock, cut out the shape, and trace around it onto another sheet of paper.

Grab the Printables

Grab the balloon templates printable here! Put your name and email in the pink box below, and we’ll send the free PDF straight to your inbox.

Download and open the PDF, then select only the pages you want in your print settings. Use regular paper for coloring or printer-compatible cardstock for sturdier cutouts. Check the print preview to make sure the full outline fits, and print one test page before making a classroom set.

These are for personal or classroom use only, not for commercial use. But feel free to print out as many of the free printables you like.
