<<  If anyone knows some other kid-friendly twisting techniques,
 videos, balloons, please let me know. >>


My children are 5 1/2 (son) and 7 (daughter) and they both think they are so 
cool when they can help Mom twist for a crowd of kids.  A "z" fold is an 
awesome way for little hands to make a sword (thank goodness the air shifts 
so their hands can fit).  

Also, teach your child how to do basic balloon hats.  My kids both make 
swords, pirate hats (basic hat) and belts.  It's a hoot.  My daughter loves 
to show off in front of teenagers and make a braid hat.  It's not real 
polished but the recipients don't even care.  By teaching hats, they can add 
stuff and make it up as they go along - just like the grownups.
