Balloon Sculpting: A Fun and Easy Guide to Making Balloon Animals, Toys, and Games

There are some real gems in this book. These balloon designs have a wow factor. The dinosaurs are terrific and well thought out. The frog is easy and super cute! Rabbits, squirrels, and more! This is the book you want if you have been twisting balloons for a while and either need a refresher course (me) or need some good designs to supplement what you've been doing. The illustrations are easy to follow and there are a lot of good tips. True, it is not a flashy book. No color pictures, but if you are serious about balloon twisting, it is a GREAT book!

I am a magician and want try to learn the technique of balloon sculpting.I do shows for kids and they always ask why I dont show them balloon sculpting.With this book you can learn some easy to do balloon animals and toys.I think this book is not written for the advanced balloon artist but I had great fun to try out all the different balloon figures.

Purchased this for an 11 yr old girl. Illustrations were easy to read -- directions easy to follow. She made several new balloon animals & toys without adult help. Some of the toys were complicated, but she was able to follow the steps and have success. I would recommend this book, even for a beginner.

I bought a Balloon sculpting book a couple years ago that was fantastic. The pictures were in color and very easy to looks at while twisting the balloons. I give out the books and balloons for Christmas gifts which kids and adults have a lot of fun with. The kids get the adults excited and engaged in making various objects. In this case, kids like to look at pictures and not read about how to make balloon animals, swords, etc. This book is well written and once you understand the diagrams and practiced a couple times, then you can make the objects featured in the book easily. I think this book would be excellent for clowns or adults that make balloon sculptures for others. It was not a hit for the families that I gave them too. It was quickly set aside and the kids started to come up with patterns of their own.

This book was purchased to teach myself to make balloon sculptures for various events for children. Never making balloon animals before, I was amazed at how quickly I learned & give the credit to this book. The illustrations were easy to understand and the book provided a suprising number of different sculptures, ranging from traditional animals to hats to balloon shooters! The author provides instruction with a sense of humor & provides information not only on sculpting, but on the various types of balloons & techniques used.

We've had a lot of fun with the kids learning to make balloon sculptures--a skill that I'm sure will come in handy at lots of functions in the future. This book is pretty clear and simple in explanations. I got several balloon books to try, but this is the one we ended up using over and over.

There's a nice assortment of projects and the jokes are cute. The directions are kind of run together and some color would be good.Overall, the book was fine. It got here pretty fast and was in perfect condition.

We purchased this for a child's party and it was a huge success. We were able to make animals right away. The instructions are clear enough for a beginer and even our 6 year old was able to make them after being shown once. My children have now spent hours making the animals and playing with them. Be sure to buy a nice ballon pump as the needed balloons are near impossible to blow up without.

My 7 year old granddaughter follows the diagrams easily. I find the written instructionsgenerally easy to follow. Good for all ages

Very good value for money

Bought for my nephew for his birthday and he said it was easy to follow instructions in making balloon animals and whatnot.

Brilliant book. Well illustrated and easy to follow with lots of variety: animals, hats, swords and even a gun! Bought for my son's 10th birthday and he is now a balloon modelling 'expert'. I love watching him make things for his younger sister and cousin and their friends. I would highly recommend as a gift that is a bit different.

A lovely book which my 9 year old enjoys following. Some descriptions for the harder models take a bit of deciphering, but we are up for the challenge.
