Gather long twisting balloons, a hand pump, and scissors
Inflate the balloon, leaving a few inches uninflated at the end
Tie the balloon securely
Make the first small twist for the animal’s head
Twist a second section for the ears or neck
Twist the next sections for the body and legs
Lock twists together by holding them firmly at each joint
Shape the remaining balloon into the tail
Adjust the twists so the animal holds its form
Repeat the same steps to make different animal shapes
