Students will need 3-5 pre-tied balloons. (Accidents do happen) I think it is better to have what you need rather than to need what you don't have. That said, they will need 1-3 untied balloons for practice in blowing up and tying balloons. I recommend using the balloon art ballons style 260 or 260q. These are latex, inflate to a 2” diameter, and 60” long. These are the most common used in the industry. Students will also need a hand held pump (or someone with strong lungs to come to class!) Manual blowing up by mouth can be very time consuming and hard to do! I prefer a pump for sanitary reasons too! A permanent marker like a Sharpie and stickers are OPTIONAL. They can be used to decorate and personalize your balloon animal. Amazon prime is a great place to find balloon art balloons and pumps. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to contact me. 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I am often asked, who invented balloon art? Some say the Aztecs first made balloons by using the inflated bladders of deceased animals. No visual here! Did they make dogs, giraffes, and other animals too? I would like to mention this interesting fact. Do you mind?
