Hello all,

Everything that Benny said (though I rarely get asked for a princess, but do many Princess Hats). Dolphins are big, once I've done 1 the ole Red Tickle Puppet is often requested, aliens are also very popular, either on the head, or made with a body to hold. One note about aliens. (I do the one that uses 2 balloons for the entire body, then a pre-printed head and a clear round over it.) I find it worth the extra $ to get them with pre-printed faces, and add the clear helmet over it. The reaction of this, VS drawing a face, which means no helmet, is much greater. Often they are astonished to see the face inside, and I try to keep them from seeing it until after the helmet is inflated. So they end up surprised by the double-stuffing, the clear helmet, and the face all at once. And it is faster to do, especially if you pre-stuff, which you can do while doing something else such as watching the news on TV, or reading posts.

Interactive toys also get a big response, such as a clear with a ball inside, curled, or twisted on a hat. Also, a frog with a tongue that can be shot into the frog's mouth. Uncle Curt has one on "More Good Stuff".
