-practice making twist balloon animals at homeAssessment
I assess as were go along. I like to see and offer suggestions if needed. I also leave feedback for parents about the student's strengths or things student could work on.Class Experience
In this relaxed class, students will be learning to blow up balloons correctly, tie balloons, pinch, twist, stretch, and loop balloons into cute animals, fish, hats, flowers and more. It is the student's responsibility to order the balloons and pump. Here is a link to ordering the correct type of balloons. Some pumps are not worth the investment. Some brand balloons pop too easily. This brand is the best I have found. Here is a good quality pump and balloons.https://www.amazon.com/Qualatex-Traditional-Assortment-Biodegradable-100-Units/dp/B01ENLEXJK/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2PMU9RCG6HN0Q&keywords=Qualatex+twist+balloons&qid=1649084586&sprefix=qualatex+twist+balloons%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-5 Class one: Learn to blow up and tie balloons( this is difficult for some, students may want to learn this before class) Students will learn to pinch, hold, and fold as they make a sword, a fish, Indian hat. ( more if we have time) Class two: Students will pinch, hold, twist, and loop as we make: a dog, a giraffe, and a flower. ( depending on how long it takes students to catch on) Class three: Students continue to pinch, twist, hold, and loop to make: a crazy hat and octopus. ( These are bigger projects) If time allows we will make other things. Once students learn to make balloon animals and things, they can set up at festival and make money. They can give a balloon gift to sick kids in hospital. Help school raise funds during fall festivals. Make money making animals balloons at birthday parties. The possibilities are endless.
