My mom committed me to making about 25 balloon animals to be used as decorations, for a party, that was going to be attended by mostly 3 and 4 year olds. I did not want to do for a lot of different reasons (mainly no insurance), but all my reason fell on deaf ear's, namely mom's. Any way I solved my problem by modifiying one of Bruce Kalver's idea's (from his professional portfolio for Balloon artist). I used my computer to print up balloon animal tags and put a choking hazarad warning on it and adult supervison required in small print at the bottom of it (WARNING: Choking hazard-childred under 8 years old can choke on balloons. Adult supervions required.)I know many balloon artist stick with the no balloon for chidren under 4, but I used the same warning on my label as the one on the bag, as it must have passed their lawyers. To solve your problem, use the balloon pet tag with a warning, give the balloon to the adult and remind them, that balloons are not ment for children under ______(insert age). If they give it to the kid, then it is their problem. (I also recommand getting insurance! Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.-----Old Ranger saying.) Just my two cents worth! Sir T "Facing backwards I see the past,our nation gained, our nation lost, our sovereignty Gone. All traded for the promise of progress.Facing the future I see hope, hope that we will survive, hope that we will prosper. For without hope I cannot live. Remember the past but do not dwell there. Face the future where all our hopes stand." ---Kamakawiwo'ole ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
