Materials

- 1 × Black twisting balloons
Tools
- Balloon pump
- Marker (for the face, optional)
Steps
- 01
Inflate the body balloon
Inflate a white balloon, leaving about 2 inches uninflated at the tip.
- 02
Create the head and ears
Twist a small ball for the head, then two smaller balls for the ears.
- 03
Form the legs and body
Twist the remaining balloon into four even legs and lock the body shape.
- 04
Add black spots
Twist small pieces of the black balloon and attach them as spots along the body.
Tips
- Leave extra uninflated balloon at the tip so the twists don't pop.
Common mistakes
- Twisting too tightly near the knot, which weakens the balloon there.
