Balloon-Powered Race Cars (12 Pack)

Balloon-Powered Race Cars turn simple science into an exciting hands-on experience as kids inflate a balloon, let it go, and watch their car zoom across the table.

Bring Motion, Science, and Excitement to Craft Time

Balloon Powered Race Cars are a perfect blend of learning and play. Each car comes fully assembled and ready to race, so kids can jump straight into experimenting with motion and air power. Inflate the balloon, release it, and watch as the escaping air propels the car forward.

Because the cars are already assembled, this activity is easy to run for groups and ideal for programs that want big engagement without complicated setup. Kids love testing different balloon sizes, racing against friends, and seeing science come to life in a fast, visual way.

This project works especially well for STEM lessons, summer camps, after-school programs, and rainy-day activities where energy is high and hands-on learning is the goal.
