While we were looking over the instructions for a solar water purifier on E is for Explore! I noticed they also had a suggestion for using solar energy to blow-up a balloon. All it called for was an empty 2 liter bottle, a small balloon, and a sunny day. We had sun, and an empty bottle (once we poured the rest of our tonic water into our "purifier"). We didn't have a small balloon, but we cut the neck off of a larger one, stretched it over the bottle, and called it good. It's a nice, simple…
