In order to make it you should twist one of the sausages again. Then, you’ll have to twist the balloon twice more so that to make the paws of the dog.
Make one more “sausage” for the body of the dog. Then, make 2 more “sausages” for the second pair of paws. All you’ll be left to do is to make a tail and your dog will be ready. A dog made out of balloons will cause a lot of enthusiasm on the part of your child and will become a good alternative for the toys that can be bought.
