 Hydrogen is highly flammable, even more so than gasoline. Any hint of a spark (even from static electricity) and it can explode. I don't think we really want to give children exploding balloons, now do we? 
Helium, on the other hand, is inert, non-toxic, and non-combustible, and even if it is slightly heavier than hydrogen, it is still the second lightest element in existence.
