Other ideas

The following is more an archiving of random ideas we had. We're moving more into the direction of the pen-pal idea.There are 500 balloons at the library. Have the balloons in an interactive installation. Pulling the strings from the helium balloons floating against ceiling triggers a part of a story. You can choose to go down a certain path in the nonlinear story structure or add another path if you don't like where the story is going.

This could also be a collaborative instrument. Place of the balloon could determine pitch and timbre, very simple and transparent controls that allow a group of children to have a collaborative experience.
