Monkeys are pretty easy.

First inflate all but about 3 inches of a 260--you
don't want any uninflated portion at the end.  For the
head, 2.5 bubble for the nose, then ear twist a 1
inch, make a 1.5 inch, then ear twist another 1 inch. 
Fold twist the last twist to the first.  Pull the
nozzle up and around the neck to finish the nose. 
This is a very comical-looking dude in my opinion. 
After the head, just wrap the arms and legs around
whatever you're using for a palm tree.  Squeeze the
air to the end of the tail, and bend it around to
shape it like a monkey's tail.

My suggestions for a palm tree-- brown 260 for the
stem, and one of the following:

   -green 6-bubble flower
   -two green 260's cut in half and criss-crossed for
    the top
   -three green hearts tied together

If you want to get fancy, you can twist a few brown
bubbles under the leaves for coconuts.

Hope this helps.
