Indeed. Do not blow up the balloon. Just use it as a rubber pouch. If anything is still unclear, describe as detailed as you can the difficulty you're visualizing.
The technique I've used to fill a balloon with rice:
- Take a small plastic drinks bottle.
- Cut the bottom half off to make it like a funnel.
- Remove the lid, and stretch a balloon over the neck.
- Invert the half bottle so the balloon over the bottle-neck is hanging underneath.
- When you tip some rice into the funnel, only a few grains will fall into the uninflated balloon.
- Now put your mouth/cheeks against the open end of the bottle/funnel and blow. This will partially inflate the balloon, and all the rice will fall in. Done!
