This sounds great. I remember we had a balloon twister at one of our health fairs. The kids just loved it.
Sounds fun
Great!!!
Excellent information in this article. Thanks!
Children usually love balloon animals~One caution though: be sure to watch little children that they do not ingest balloon fragments~It can be deadly~Don't mean to burst their balloon but safety first~
I'd love to learn to do this! Sounds like fun and just think of the children's faces!!
My older sister is terrified of balloons. If someone holds one near her, she plugs her ears, closes her eyes and yells to get away. I think she would hate this activity. Haha!
I've always been fascinated by people who can do this! Great article.....
Sounds fun.
