Hope this is the right forum (please fell free to move it, Mr Moderator, if it isn't).

I'm looking for some ideas. I work every Saturday (and some Sundays) at a local bowling alley as Resident Magician and Balloon Twister, I also host children's parties there. I do quite a few different balloon models but Im looking for more ideas. They have to be simple-three balloons at the most because I can have so many childern (and adults) wanting balloons I only have time to do quickies.

My repertoire (posh word) at the mo is:

Three-balloon hat
Spider (actually five balloons)
Sword
Love heart
Teddy Bear
Teddy Bear on a Love heart
Giraffe
Dog
Rabbit
Dinosaur
Flower (red)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

PS the ladies love the flowers, I make one up and go to the child and tell him/her to give it to his/her mum, thank her for bringing him/her bowling and then give her a big kiss!!!

Hi Paul,

A CD/DVD I would absolutely recomend you to get would be Thelma Levets "2 and a Bit" which has some terrific real world useable designs on it, all using 2 balloons ( and a bit of scrap sometimes)

It is available from your favourite supplier named Graeham
