Balloon Animals

In preparation for my son's upcoming Circus Birthday Party, my 13yr old niece is practicing making balloon animals. She has done a little ofthis in the past & is willing to be the Balloon Animal Maker at the party. I found some fairly easy illustrated instructions online & printed them off for her. You can find the long skinny balloons to make the animals with at Party City for around $4 for a a pack of 25 balloons & a few other places sell them too. It's better not to buy the cheapest balloons you can find because they definitely don't hold up as well & pop while you're twisting them or blowing them up. You can also buy the balloon pump for about $5 at party city too. The pic that's posted is a pic from my niece, Hannah, on her first day of practicing when we recently got together for Easter. I am doing my son's Circus Party on a tight budget while trying to incoporate as much circus fun as I can. Believe me, this will be a lot cheaper than hiring someone to make balloon animals!
