In this live, hands on teacher led class, students will learn the basics of making balloon animals. They will learn to pinch, fold, twist, and lock ballon segments to each other to create a balloon dog! The students will follow the teacher as she models and guides the step by step demonstrated practice. In our first class, we will practice blowing up balloons, tying off the balloon, and hopefully begin making the dog in live time with the teacher. Learning a new skill can be challenging! As with anything new, repeated practice, patience, and time are essential to being successful. For this reason, I will meet with students a second time! In our second meeting, I will answer questions and repeat the demonstration. We will continue to practice all our new moves and hopefully, show off our final products! Learning to make balloon animals is no different, but it is definitely a lot of fun! Participating in this class will also help improve fine motor skills, manual dexterity, and foster creative expression, not to mention patience and persistence. I bet you didn’t think a balloon class would teach all that! By the end of the two session class, students will have had lots of fun and hopefully  learned how to make the ever popular balloon dog animal. For fast learners, I am prepared to teach the giraffe. Where do I buy the balloons for class? I have listed the materials you will need for this class in the materials section. They can be purchased inexpensively at several online shops.Check it out! I look forward to "twisting" with you!
