I do like working with a theme I really enjoyed one in particular this was when working for RHS they had a Halloween event and I was asked to try and keep to things that were going on around the Hyde Hall sight on the day. The bit I really liked was the way the children would try and find the thing they wanted. eg a child wanted a cat and managed to find one caved into a pumpkin she even got her mum to take a picture of it to show me. Another wanted a motor bike and and I said is there one any were around the site and he went and found out that there was a scarecrow on a bike (they have lots of unusual scarecrows) so he got his bike, and he even got a scarecrow riding it.

I do love it when subjects like maths etc are shown in a fun way, it is amazing how much children take in with out realising they are learning. I have a very good friend that is a teacher & magician who has used Magic and juggling to help teach maths and science to pupils. I have sat and watched some of his shows and learnt things myself.

I pretty much only do themed balloons is for the holidays.  I've noticed that most of the birthday parties around my area are not necessarily theme based either.
Have a happy day <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=\":-)\" title=\"Smile\" />

Thanks for the link Roger. I have seen some unbelievable mathematical juggling - some very highbrow maths juggling too. The more the merrier and juggling is SO entrancing, especially to teenagers!

p.s. I taught someone to juggle in 10 minutes the other day - I was sick!..... It took me FOUR years!!!!! I was also VERY proud of her :o)

Sometimes creating a themed balloon only requires some very simple changes to a balloon design you've been doing for years. You just have to step back and look at it from a different angle.

Put a small white round in the hands of a balloon person and you've got a footballer.

Design a balloon man using red and blue 260's then put a clear 260 in his hand and attach him to a 260 with a loop on the end and you have spiderman hanging from a crane arm.

A simple pirate sword turned upside down could be a space mans lazer gun.

The better you sell it to your audience, the more they will beleive the hype.  :D
