The Balloon Diva

HOW TO CATCH A MOUSE

Learning about science is fun? Absolutely! The mechanics of simple machines are explained while constructing the world's coolest mousetrap out of balloons with the aid of audience volunteers. A long-standing hit in New York, this show is not to be missed. For more information about this show, see www.HowToCatchAMouse.com.

READING ADVENTURE

A mad scientist creates a balloon monster! A dragon attacks! You never know what might happen when the Diva and her audience actors spice up a plot with balloon costumes and props. Children's stories are transformed into balloon theater while the excitement of reading is emphasized throughout the performance.

BALLOON FACTORY

The art of balloon sculpting has been around for centuries, even before rubber was invented in the 19th century. Really! In this hour-long balloon twisting workshop, Laura teaches kids and adults how to make fantastic wearable creations. This workshop is a fun and informative introduction to this unusual art form.

At a time when Game Boy Games, Nintendos and other video and computer games capture hours of attention from our children, I was so pleased to see over one hundred kids mesmerized by your talents.
