 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Okay - I have 500 modelling balloons and 9 days until the Big Bike Bash to learn how to do balloon modelling. I had a quick google but was daunted by some of the complexities.
I need stuff I can do while half cut in a field with mild heat stroke that will please 3 - 8 year old children.
So far I have mastered:
The Worm

The Snake

The Log

The Loop Hat
[img] 
[/img]
The Long Bracelet
[img] [/img]
The spokeless wheel
[img] [/img]
The Sword
[img] 
[/img]
I am fairly sure I can do a flower by holding the sword from the other end and folding the stamen in to make another petal.
My latest masterpiece is the dog

Is that a reference to me or a suggestion for modelling?
It looks like you have mastered the "cock" just make them bigger 😳

Did I mention SIMPLE?!?
You asked for simple inspiration* not inspiration to do simple tasks.
Stick with worm/snake/log
😉
*the googling was very simple indeed
<edit> OK here you go some simple balloon animals - with instructions

Giraffe? Generic dinosaur?
That dog's pretty impressive but I'd give the, er, 'sword' a miss or you might end up on some kind of register 🙂

on a swing[/url] always hits the spot, fast and easy. Can be worn on the head.
<Nice teat size>
500 - gulp - please don't fill them with water !
imho - the sword will do nicely / kids will try their own designs
wtf is that supposed to be? An allosaurus? Nah the dimensions are way off, the spinous process are far too long and I don't know where to start with the pelvis.Generic dinosaur?
And he got the nose wrong.
Coolest dude on Youtube. (love the little "Eegh" noises he makes!)
5:49 is the funniest thing I've heard in ages!
It was a dog and sword, now it is a man*!

*The swollen testicles were a slight mistake
My video helped?! Awesome. Can you also do the little noises?
I have been warned about previous 'age inappropriate behavior' at the BBB.
No more rides on the Golden Truck of Dreams and definitely no more bouncing kids through the windscreen.
