Balloon Animals

My parents gave my kids a balloon launcher. Mason played with it constantly for an entire month. Never has any other toy stayed the center of attention for such a long time! So when the balloons were all lost or popped I bought some more that I thought would work. Well, they were more of the balloon animal variety and extremely difficult for a little 3 year old to pump up. So, I decided to make use of them!

Behold my 1st ever attempt at balloon animals...well an animal (it's supposed to be a dog) and a sword! The sword started out as a giraffe but that was way beyond my beginner experience.
Getting a picture of these two crazies with the balloons was a challenge. They didn't want to take pictures, they wanted to play!

I just wanted to see their faces and see smiles! I don't think it was too much to ask!
Ok, almost...just a little...well...interesting!
Ok ok, good enough! Go play!

About 2 minutes later...

POP!

PS This would be a super fun idea for a birthday party! Just google balloon animals and you'll find all sorts of tutorials. I'm going to practice and give it a shot for our next birthday party. Good thing I have quite a few months to practice!
