What is a balloon?

A balloon is a rubber bag filled with air to make it big. You see them at festivals and birthday parties.
Balloons that float softly up into the sky have a gas called helium inside. It is lighter than air. Balloons you blow up with your mouth do not float.

Let's count with "ko"

We count balloons like "1 ko, 2 ko," using the word "ko".
In Japanese, the counting word changes depending on the item. That makes it so much fun!
