This is for the head. When making them, count to ten while twisting each bubble.
It should make a loop, kind of like a flower.
To pinch them, pull it out and turn it.
These will be the legs.
Bend the legs down, where they are vertical.
This section should just be a little over an inch.
Twist them together like you did for the front legs earlier.
Bend it in an 'S' shape and massage it for a few seconds. Turn the tail so it is facing up.

Expert Answer

Everything about this type of entertainment is dexterity and constant practice. In the beginning, you're gonna spend many balloons, don't give up. Try again and again, and eventually, your muscles will learn and you will twist the balloons without even looking or thinking about your hands.
