How can I make balloon animals?
user
It’s best to use both hands when making a balloon animal. First hold the balloon in one hand, and use your other hand to form the features of the animal. To make a circle, take one finger and pull it across the balloon, while the other fingers are still holding the balloon. Then shape the circle into the animal’s head. For the body, the arms and legs are easiest to form by pinching the balloon and then letting go.
