To practice, blow up a balloon with a pump.  Then, let it deflate.  Then, 
blow it up by mouth.  It should be easier, and give you some practice.

Also, my technique for blowing them up is this.  For the first thing, don't 
use your lungs.  use your hands to hold your lips together, with the balloon 
just inside.  Then, use the rest of your hands to push your cheeks in, while 
keeping your throat sealed.  the pushing of your cheeks, plus maybe your 
tongue, will get the first puff.  Then, use your lungs for the rest.
