Pocket Size Play Tauranga
If you’ve ever marvelled at sculpted balloon animals or colourful twisted shapes, you know the magic that a bit of latex and a lot of flair can bring to any gathering.
On Saturday 6th June from 10.30 to 11.30am, I will be teaming up with N.E Events for a lively balloon twisting workshop at Downtown Tauranga Library. Since founding BdazzledNZ Balloons in 2015, I’ve seen how balloon art quickly sparks joy and adds a splash of colour to any event. This hands-on session is welcome to all ages—no experience needed. It’s a great way to pick up a new skill, have a bit of fun, and leave with your very own balloon creation.
Come along and immerse yourself in the playful side of creativity. Together we’ll twist, laugh, and learn simple yet striking designs that are sure to impress your friends and family.
What To Expect At The Workshop
Get ready for a morning of hands-on fun as I introduce the basics of balloon twisting in a friendly, relaxed setting. I’ll be sharing tips picked up over 14 years in the balloon industry, walking participants through step-by-step instructions. You’ll learn how to inflate, tie, and twist latex balloons, before exploring some classic designs—think dogs, swords, and simple flowers.
By guiding you through every bend and twist, I aim to demystify balloon artistry and show that, with a bit of practice, anyone can create stunning shapes. All materials are provided and every attendee gets to take home their handmade balloon sculptures.
Here’s what you can look forward to:

The Benefits Of Learning Balloon Twisting
Balloon twisting is more than just party fun—it’s a creative outlet packed with surprising benefits. Picking up this skill helps improve hand-eye coordination, strengthen concentration, and spark imagination. For children, it’s a great way to develop fine motor skills and build confidence as they see their own creations come to life.
For adults, balloon twisting can reduce stress and add a joyful, playful element to daily life. At events, it’s an instant icebreaker that brings people together and creates unique memories. Plus, knowing you’re using 100% biodegradable latex makes each twist kinder to the planet.
Whether you want to impress at birthday parties, support local community events, or just try something new, balloon art is an engaging and accessible hobby.
