Animal-themed parties are a perennial hit, but short of hiring a balloon artist to twist up a menagerie, options can be pretty limited. These Air Heads by Hector Serrano are a fun way to add style to a wild kids' party without licensed characters or mylar monstrosities.
From the same London studio that brought us Animal Hands, a set of Air Heads comes with six balloons, eyes, stickers, press and fold features and double-sided adhesive to make a bear, bird, koala, rhino, tiger and pig. Pick up a set for $12.95 at Z Gallerie.

cute product but balloon animals really aren't that hard if you have an hour to kill. although the sad truth is that even after learning a good handful of animals to make, most of your requests ends up being "sword" and you're left pleading with the kids "but look! isn't a parrot so much cooler?"
I made a bunch of these for my son's 3rd year birthday party, a farm theme. They were so cute - but a little frustrating to make with everything else I had to pull together.
