So you have chosen your pick from the best DIY balloon experiments. Do you want to know more about balloons? Here is some extra information. In 1824, Michael Faraday made the first modern rubber balloon on record. He used his balloons to contain the gases produced during his experiments. In the following year, Thomas Hancock started selling toy balloons. These balloons were not like the modern ones which we can simply blow into. It was more like a DIY kit. The balloon came as two circles of soft rubber, and the user was required to assemble the balloon. Lay the two circles on top of each other, and rub the edges together. Balloon is ready!
