Overview
Balloon modelling can not only be a fun hobby, but also a powerful tool to engage people, and communicate Christian values and object lessons. Balloon modelling can hold people’s attention and is a poignant reminder when given as a gift to take home.
Before you start: Make sure all the people doing this honor have no latex allergies or are overly sensitive to sound. Not everyone can handle the sounds of balloons, and some with anxieties cannot handle the thought of a balloon popping. As always, be mindful of the needs of the Pathfinders in your group.
The Challenging Part
The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:
11. Using the basic twists, make three of the following balloon sculptures:
- a. Dog
- b. Giraffe
- c. Rabbit
- d. Swan
- e. Elephant
- f. Dinosaur
- g. Bird
- h. Pig
- i. Any other animals made from one balloon
