3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, disappointing supply,
By Avid Reader (San Fracisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Balloon Book & Kit (Paperback)
The book gives a very good introduction to making all kinds of balloon "figures". The directions are clear and easy to follow. My six year old can successfully make items rated 1 and 2 (e.g. the dog and the house) while my nine-year old successfully made something rated a three. I have two gripes with the book. First, after a long spiel explaining why you should buy good quality balloons, they simply state that you can balloons from party stores or the internet. Now, while the balloons that come with the kit are okay, you as a buyer end up just buying balloons by trial and error until you find a good source. Fortunately, these balloons are available in several places so I am sure we will find a good supplier over time. Second, I was extremely disappointed in the poor quality of the "pump" that came with the kit. It's sharp lip tends to tear the balloons that were supplied with the kit; it takes a while to inflate the balloons using the pump; and since you do not want to go past the sharp lip, once you are done inflating the balloon, you end up struggling to tie a knot at the end of the balloon. We remedied the problem by buying a very easy to use balloon pump from Wal-Mart for under $$$. If only the authors had included a better pump, this kit would have ended up with a 5 star rating instead of the three stars that it is getting right now. Rated separately, the book would get a 5 star while the kit (the pump and balloons) would get 1.5 or 2 stars (the pump obviously lowered the rating).

The best balloon-twisting manual on the market!,
By Tippy Tippy Longstocking (New Port Richey, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ultimate Balloon Book & Kit (Paperback)
As a professional clown, I am constantly in search of books and tapes that can help me improve my balloon twisting skills. The instructions in this book are both clear and concise. All terms used are defined. I was delighted to find easy to follow directions for a dinosaur! Up until now, I always told the kids that you can't make a dinosaur from a balloon.

Great for Beginners,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Ultimate Balloon Book & Kit (Paperback)
I bought this kit for my nephews first birthday party, since we were doing a circus theme I wanted to be able to make balloon animals. The directions are easy to read and the pictures are great examples. Within the first night of practice I was able to make the stage 3 projects. I wish there were more projects but I figured out how to do other animals just tweeking some of the instructions. The pump and balloons are not the best, but they work and are good just for practice. I planned to be getting better balloons for the party anyway, so it was nice to have a practice supply
