As a kid I always appreciated balloons no matter what color, shape, or size. Besides feverishly swatting them in the air as most kids generally do – providing hours of endless fun, or making water ballons there wasn’t much to do with them after that. You had to be careful not to play to rough or POW! bye-bye ballon.

But balloons like other toys have evolved and can now be mutated into different shapes and caricatures. I just love those creative balloon twisters you run into sometimes at the carnival or restaurant. I’m always amazed at how easy they are able to twist a balloon into a dog or a butterfly. I ran across this balloon twister demonstrating how to make a flower. Maybe you can try it!
