Where Do You Get Your Supplies From?

Zoomalata with a Balloon Frog

Cool Tie-dyed round balloon from Dollar Tree makes a great frog balloon.

One of the questions I get from people is, “Where do you get your balloons and supplies from? In this post I will leave businesses and services that I use to run my business. Where do I get balloons from…what is my social media…other services I use to help me run my small business. I hope that you are helped from it too. Some links you click on and if you purchase from I may receive a bit of money from. I will update this post from time to time and keep it evergreen.

*Caution* When balloons from Amazon that are made in China. Be sure to smell them. If they have a gasoline smell I wouldn’t use them to give away. I would let them air out until the smell is gone. Then, When I blow them up I NEVER MOUTH INFLATE:USE A PUMP ONLY.

**Caution** Qualatex Balloons are not being made anymore. The only balloons left are what they have previously made. They were bought out after going bankrupt and hopefully their specialty balloons will be available through the new company.

Balloon Twisting Workshop

Balloon Twisting Workshop

2020 is started out nicely with fun workshop where folks learn to make their own balloon creations. Zoomalata teaches the workshop participants how to work with some of the basic balloon twists. In the end, everyone had 5 balloon creations learned. They are on their way to being balloon artists if they take what they learn and follow through.

It was a blast and everyone took home a bunch of balloons that they learned to make.

Balloon Workshops are great for anyone to have fun but they are also great for team building workshops where you want students or employees to learn to work together.

How About a Pizza Party Magic Show?

How About a Pizza Party Magic Show?

What is a great fun activity for the birthday party. It is both entertaining and it will help you with your food preparation. The answer is a “Build Your Own Pizza Party”

Here is How You Could Through a Pizza Building Party

Before the party you will need to have pizza dough and all the ingredients that your guests may want to put on their own personal pizza. Also you will want to have some parchment paper to build their pizzas on.

The pizza dough can be store bought or made from scratch. Have the dough separated into little balls. Have enough to cover for the amount of guests who will be there.

Have all your meats, veggies, cheese, sauce all cut up the day before the party so it is not another thing to do on the day of the party. Cover them up with plastic wrap so they stay fresh and place in the refrigerator.

On the day of the party your guests will each get a ball of pizza dough that they will flatten, press and stretch into a flat crust. Then they put some sauce on the crust.

Finally, they will build a pizza from all the items that they could possibly want. Bake the pizza pies following the directions from the recipe or container the dough came in.

All that is left is to enjoy the tasty pizzas and continue to have fun with your guests. But, what do you do while you are waiting for it to bake? That’s where I come in.

Update January 1, 2019
If you are doing a TV Show or Movie theme and have a lot of extra time, why not build a desert pizza as well. This time by pizza crusts that are already backed up and just need the toppings.

A simple desert that my mother used to make was to butter the pizza crust and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on it. Pop it in the oven for a few minutes until it is golden brown and let it cool before cutting it up. Be careful that the sugar does not burn.

A fun 30-45 minute magic show while it is baking is an excellent idea. Right after the magic show, the pizzas should be all baked, cooled down a bit and ready to be eaten.

Magical Activity While the Pizzas are Baking

Of course, if you are not from Northeast Wisconsin you will need to look up a fun magician from your area. Do a Google or Bing search to locate one in your neck of the woods.
