To be honest, I make balloons at kids and adult parties for children parties, but keep em simple.

The more intricate and time consuming, it's a guarantee that everyone will want one..

Keep em simple.

Also, I found that the 260S balloons are cheaper and longer than the 260Q.

for me its mainly swords, even for the girls, they soon love to fight with them!

Matthew: you KNOW that sentences start with capital letters and end with a full stop, and you KNOW that your name should have a capital letter.

If you don't make an effort, people will stop making the effort to try and understand / help you.

I suggest not coming on the forum and resting properly then. Come back when you are fresh. :)

I always find it best to keep it simple especially if you are doing it during your actual show.

You will always get a child ask for something that is impossible to make on the spot like Buzz Lightyear or an alien (these take some serious preperation)

Just something quick and add some funny banter and the job is a good un'

Thanks

yep, keep em simple:

swords are the quickest and most boys are happy with them. Hats too are quick. Snakes are the quickest!

Dogs, cats, giraffes - all basically the same. My dogs and cats are identical except when you give them to a child make either a woofing or barking sound.

Rabbits and kangeroos are pretty quick too (mine look like cross bred kangerabbits).

Tip: if you get an awkward one who wants a buzz lightyear or similar, blow up a balloon (don't tie it off) and ask them to hold it. Just before they do, let go and it will go whizzing across the room. Send them to find it and it get's them out of your hair. The other children love the trick too!

Just do a dog and tell the child that it was Buzz lightyear but got zapped into a dog by an alien?
