Balloons add pizazz to party decor and create a festive and inviting atmosphere. With a little imagination, sheep balloon decorations can complete a party theme and add flair to the festivities. Highlight focal points of the party or even unique architectural features of the home using sheep balloon decorations. - Decorating ideas using sheep balloon sculptures vary depending on the flow of the party. The sculpture itself comprises a few balloons twisted and tied together in the shape of a sheep, similar to other balloon animal sculptures. Sheep balloon sculptures can be made at home, but it might take some trial and error to get it right, so be sure to plan ahead. You can also hire someone to make the sculptures during or before the party. Children will enjoy watching a sheep balloon sculpture "come to life." Distribute several of sheep balloon sculptures on the cake, gift and snack tables, or any empty table space.
- "Lay Down the Sheep" is a sheep balloon decorating idea and game that can be finished before the party or used as a party activity for children. Blow up several white balloons and draw sheep faces on them. Attach some cotton balls with glue to create a tail and some feet. Lay down the sheep on "green pastures" by placing then on top of a green cloth or green construction paper. You can then turn this balloon decoration into a party game: gather several newspapers and roll them up to make two "shepherd's staffs." Select two "shepherds" to lay down the sheep on the green pastures using the staff. Players may "herd" any of the sheep balloons outside of the green pasture besides those found on the other players' pastures. The shepherd that lays down the most sheep wins. You can have more than two at a time play if you wish.
- Balloons with a sheep design on them are available online and in party stores. Helium filled balloons make great decorative sheep balloon displays. They can be found in different sizes, from standard-size balloons to life-sized sheep. Mix in white helium filled balloons to create a small bunch and use the balloons to decorate and mark the party spot. Place the balloons near the entrance and at the food table.
