The Klutz Book of Balloon Twisting by Karen Phillips
Klutz.com
Ages 8 and up
I went through a serious balloon twisting phase as a kid, somewhere between my obsession with the steel drum and sewing purses. My parents got me a book and kit for making all sorts of things from these long, skinny balloons, but some of them were far too advanced for me. The Klutz Book of Balloon Twisting would have been perfect for me as a kid, since it has eleven kid-friendly projects that would be easy to make at a party or playdate. It comes with 40 balloons and a pump, which makes blowing up the balloons an absolute breeze. The book has hats, wands, swords, and fairy wings, which are perfect for girls and boys. If you're interested in getting your kids started on this fun craft or want to whip up some party toys but have never even made a balloon dog, this book is a perfect place to begin. For some more ideas of models to make, try Balloon Molecules.

I've never met a kid who didn't like balloon animals, and I still love them at the ripe old age of 37! I'd love to be able to learn how to do this and see smiles light up on the kids!

My mom used to give the Klutz books to my cousins for their birthday or Christmas presents. I was always so jealous because the books always have the best craft ideas! This one looks fantastic - who doesn't need to know how to make a balloon hat?

The only balloon animal I can make is a poorly proportioned dog; I'd love to expand my repertoire.

The only kid I have is a year old...she'd more than likely just choke on the balloons.
So, I propose that *I* get to use the book, and make some balloon animals and weapons with which to torment my cat.
