Each design should be practiced at least 10 times so that it is part of your memory. We also recommend taking a picture of each design you learn so you can make a gig board so people know what you can do.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Balloons will be popping. Be ready. Balloons are made from latex. Balloons are dangerous if consumed. Balloons take more space than you realize they do. Make them, take a picture and pawn them off on neighbor children or pop them!
Supply List

Qualatex hand pump (green, you can find it on Amazon)
