LE'S
LPS
Hi! I'm Leo, I'm 9, and I make balloon animals at parties, schools, birthdays, and the park. Dogs, swords, giraffes, flowers, and crowns, all twisted by me.
A real kid with a real business.
Leo started twisting balloons in April 2025 after watching tutorials on YouTube. Since then, Talbot Elementary has hired him for its Fun Run and another school event, and families have booked him for birthday parties too.
I'm Leo. I taught myself balloon animals on YouTube and now I run my own little business. I buy my own balloons and pump, practice a lot, and show up with a duffel bag full of color.
The dog was first. Then the sword. Now I know more than forty designs by heart, and I can usually figure out a new one if a kid asks for something weird.
On weekends I go to the park and twist for free. People tip if they want. So far I've earned $700 since I started. I'm saving up for a giant balloon kit and a new bike.
The wall of happy kids.
Birthdays, school carnivals, neighborhood block parties, and Saturday mornings at the park. More photos can be added as Leo works new events and builds his portfolio.
Leo's first video mission.
Leo has not made tutorial videos yet. That is the next step: simple kid-to-kid lessons that start with the designs he already knows cold.
Film four tiny lessons.
No fancy setup. Phone sideways, quiet room, bright table, one balloon design per video. Show the finished balloon first, then teach the steps.
Learn from a kid, like a kid.
Loop Academy is the bigger idea: if Leo likes filming and families ask for more lessons, the free videos can grow into a real beginner course.
First the videos. Then the course.
Leo learned by watching other people teach. His version can be shorter, clearer, and more fun for kids who want to learn from someone their age.
Want me at your event?
Tell us a little about your party and Leo's mom will help reply within a couple of days. Leo has already worked school events and birthday parties, and he brings a parent along every time.
Saturdays, weather permitting, near the playground.
Free balloon animals for kids. Tips welcome. They go toward more supplies and, eventually, a new bike.

Cash works too
Or just say hi.
Leo loves it when kids ask for weird stuff. Recent requests he has actually figured out: an axolotl, a very tiny giraffe, and a balloon version of a dad.
Stuff parents ask first.
If your question is not here, put it in the booking form. Leo's mom checks the inbox and helps write back.
How much does Leo charge?
Private events usually start around $75 for the first hour and $50 per hour after. At the park, balloon animals are free and tips go straight toward supplies. Schools and bigger events can request a quote.
How far will Leo travel?
Anywhere a parent can drive him within about 45 minutes. Farther than that, ask on the form.
Is there always a parent with Leo?
Yes. One of Leo's parents is at every event and helps with logistics, safety, scheduling, and payment.
What about balloon allergies?
Leo uses standard latex twisting balloons. Let us know if anyone in the group has a latex allergy so the family can plan ahead.
When does Loop Academy launch?
It is an idea in progress. Leo is starting with free beginner videos first. Use the booking form and choose Academy to join the first-to-know list.
Can Leo make a custom design?
Probably. He knows 40+ designs from memory and likes practicing new requests. Mention it before the event so he can try it out.
