Balloon Animals Are Art, Mommy

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Aug 1, 2009

Creative moments are, well, very creative here. My oldest went to work with my husband this morning (my little guy is SO excited), and my other two (well, my youngest son and my stepdaughter, that is) are working on some creative adventures. They’re in the process of making balloon snakes using their “blower uppers” so they can create balloon animals using the books we have as guides.

“Balloon animals are art, Mommy,” said my son when he explained me that this was going to be used as their arts and crafts time today. He’s going to figure out how to glue sequins on as eyes, embellish them with string, and then make them part of a larger “sculptural” work. I love the imaginations of the little people in my life! It inspires me so much to watch them work, discover, and create.
