Balloon animals are sculptures made from inflated latex or foil balloons. They are often created by twisting and shaping the balloons into various animal forms, such as dogs, cats, and giraffes. This art form is popular at parties, fairs, and events, where skilled artists entertain guests by making these colorful creations. The process of making balloon animals involves a technique called balloon twisting. Artists use long, thin balloons, known as 260 balloons, which can be easily manipulated. Balloon animals can be simple or complex, depending on the artist's skill level and the design chosen.
