BALLOON ANIMALS 101

1. Buy a "how to book" at Barnes and Noble.


2. Don't worry that you are breaking a promise you made to yourself about not buying anymore books until you have read every last one in your house. It doesn't count, because you just found a $20.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble.

(just a few of them)

3. After promising to make animals for 3 days, pull the baby out Sunday night so your darling can head up the project.


4. This turns out to be a good idea, because unlike you he actually reads the instructions and figures out how to Lock the twists in place.


5. Try unsuccessfully to make a complicated poodle. Unfortunately one of the ear dog twists pops so you can no longer make the poodle, but instead a random bunch of bubbles.


6. Allow small child to decide on next project- a Dragonfly.


7. Consult the directions, Twist and Pull, and twist and pull, consult the directions, until.... VOILE! You have created your very own Dragonfly.


Congratulations- now take a bow.
