Balloon Twisting 101
A great activty for older kids ages 7 and up is learning some simple balloon designs. I hand out some balloons and give them a lesson in balloon twisting. We can make a fun hat, a dog on a leash a sword or a flower in their choice of colors. They will walk away knowing how to twist a simple design and taking it home. Then of course I will twist for them a design of their choise out of my repetoire. All the while their hands are busy twisting and creating their own balloons into whatever they come up with. This is an activity they don’t soon forget. We sometmes add stickers and draw onto the balloons with markers. It’s great for a rainy day activity. Those brightly colored balloons really brighten up the day.

Hello Jane:
I am interested in learning face painting and baloon twisting. I would like to work in Southern New Jersey with this. Would you be able to help me get started? I’d like your assistance in training me on face painting as I am not an artist. Also, I need help with learning how to twist baloons. Are you willing to help me with this for maybe a month, once or twice a week? If so, how much would you charge? I live in Clementon, New Jersey but plan to move to Williamstown, NJ in October. I would not be able to start until after labor day if you can do it. Please consider this as I am a parent who would love to get into this to start my own business. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great night.
Rita
