So, checking the weather for this weekend, and the outlook is bleak... I have just the thing to cheer you up and maybe bring back some memories of childhood...
Whilst having my clear out this week, I came across an old birthday present from a good friend of mine...'Balloon Flowers'...a kit containing tons of shaping balloons, a pump, and instructions.
My sister and I decided to have some fun, although after quite some time attempting the flowers and getting nowhere, we had a look online for some tutorials...and this is what we finished up with...
These are the better few of our attempts...but I'd say for first timers, we did pretty well!

... Heart
... Poodle
... and a rather questionable looking Elephant
We had some great fun creating these, and it gave us the chance, in all our growing up, to feel like kids again!!
I am now looking forward to making some more this weekend with my Sam - I know he'll enjoy himself just as much as we did.
Why don't you give it a go, for something different to do this wet weekend. For your balloon modelling kit, the best place I have found is Here.
Enjoy!
