Traditional Japanese paper balloons like this one, called Kamifusen, have been loved by children since they emerged in the 1920s as a cheaper alternative to rubber balloons.
If played with carefully, the balloon can be flattened and blown up again and again. The easiest way to hang the balloon is to tie some thread to an uncoiled paper clip and insert it in the hole. The thread can be attached to the ceiling with washi tape or white tacks.
