Thought this may be a good topic to have as a resource for everyone. It's always good to have a few funny lines or things to say while twisting, here are a couple I use.

When there trying to guess what I'm making I give them a clue, whats grey & has a trunk. Generally everyone says elephant & the line is......no a mouse going on holiday  Then hand them the mouse you've just made.

When making any animal ask how many eyes would you like, the reply here varies but whatever they say you go to draw eyes on the person who answered the question, I normally leave the cap on the pen & pretend to draw the eyes on there forehead.

Looking forward to hearing your funny lines, sayings etc.........

*Sits quietly, cross-legged on floor awaiting explanation*

When a lot of children ask together, I say "Ok, I stop, I can't work in this condition". Then I put my hands in my back with a balloon and do a basic dog without looking it. Children and parents are often impressed, after that, they are a little more quiet.

Or when they ask together, I say "Ok, i will make a chmilimissnnzop, or something wich approachs it"

You'll be struggling with that one in Liverpool !!!!

When I twist and a balloon burst I say : "who has launch a dart ?"
This tip has given to me by Fabrizio Bolzonni !

"what are you making??"

answers vary

- "I have NO idea."

- "I forget."

- "Hmm...[look at the model a few different ways] that is a VERY good question."

- "A big mess"

A few lines i use whilst working are......................

          If they ask for a giraffe, while making it, i ask, " what do giraffe have that no other animal has?" a few say, a long neck, i say so do ostriches. Spots, i say so do leopard's. When they give up, (Adults also). I say "Baby giraffe's" HA ha :lol:

          When a balloon pops, i say "someone asked me the other day, how often do they burst", and i reply  "only once". ha ha ha

           Name any animal in the world, and i will make it, but it'll look like a dog!!!

I'll think of a few more

Cheers Adie

what ever your asked for ( say a dog for example) look at all your balloons & say I'm sorry i don't have any dogs left :twisted:
it's also a good get-out line when asked for something you cant make

You could a little extra to that . . . .  Why have giraffes got really long necks? . . . . . . Because they have really smelly feet.


I sometimes say . . . 'Sorry, I've ran out of balloons now'. The child is usually now pointing at the balloon bag. I then say say . . .'Oh they're no good, they all have holes in the end!' It gets a few laughs from the adults as well.


When making a pirate hat, I always ask . . . Why are pirates called pirates?  . . . . Coz the Arrrrrrrrr!!!! The kids NEVER laugh at this, but the adults ALWAYS laugh, stange!!


If making a monkey. . . . . . 'Have you got any monkeys at home?' . . . . . they answer No!!. . . . . . my reply is. . . .'I bet your mum and dad have'! . . . . Parents usually agree.


You often hear the parent call a child by their name, wait a short while and ask . . . . . . 'So, what's your name Andrew? (or what ever their name is) and watch the confusion on their face as they are about to answer. Sometimes they'll reply . . . 'You just said it' . . . . . so answer back . . . . . 'oh, hello You just said it'!

If for some reason when I am making a dog the balloon pops I say well thats the poppy now I will make the grown up dog  



Why have giraffes got such a long neck ?



They would look daft with a gab between their head and their shoulders  :lol:
