Balloon Activities - Balloon
Twisting
 |
Apple Twist |
Use your index finger
to press the knot into the body of the balloon. While your
finger is in the balloon, use the thumb and index finger of your
other hand to pinch the body of the balloon and grasp the knot
inside. Remove your finger from inside the bubble, continuing to
grasp the knot with your other hand. Twist the newly formed
bubble, locking the knot inside the body of the balloon. |

Pinch Twist |
Make a small bubble
then pull the bubble out and twist to lock. This is a great
technique for making joints, ears, eyes, or anything else. This
is needed to make the pop twist. |

Dog
Twist |
Do not blow the
balloon up all the way... you only need 1/2 a balloon.
Step 1--Blow up the balloon half way.
Step 2--Start at the beginning with the knot and twit a 3
to 4-inch bubble or 3 or 4 fingers wide. Make sure you hang on
to both ends of balloon, otherwise it will untwist. Twist it
around 2 or 3 times. Do not worry it will not break. Why didn't
it break? There is space at the end of the balloon for the extra
air. That is why we only blow the balloon up half way.
Step 3--While holding on to the twisted balloon, make
another bubble the same size. This will be the one ear. Do not
let go.
Step 4--Make another balloon bubble the same size. This
is the other ear. Look at picture.
Step 5--Twist balloon joints A & B together twist 2 or 4
time all the way around. The balloon will not break, and they
will stay together.
Step 6--Now for the neck. Twist a 2 to 3-inch bubble or 3
or 4 fingers wide. This is the neck. Make sure you hang on to
the balloon, both parts.
Step 7--Lets make the legs, after all--we want your dog
to stand. Start by twisting a 2 to 3-inch bubble. Hang on to the
neck as you twist the balloon, and do not let go of the leg.
Step 8--Second leg, same as the first. Twist a 2 to
3-inch bubble. Twist those two parts together just like you did
with the ears. Remember twist around each other 4 or 5 times.
Twist the parts together to look like the drawing.
Step 9--Have a lot of balloon left over? Hotdog! We make
the body 1 1/2 hands long. Then twisting; make sure you hang on
to the balloon. Make the legs like you did in step 7.
Congratulations you have just made you first hotdog dog. |
