How to make a Velociraptor with one balloon

The velociraptor became very popular after the film Jurassic Park. I was asked for many of these over the years. I based this figure upon my original T Rex design. By changing the proportion on the hips and simplifying the head I came up with this figure. I hope it is of some use to you. Instructions are below.

New Stegosaurus

I was looking how other people made this figure and I noted a comment that said that Stegosauruses don't have visible ears. This meant that I had to redesign my steggie. So this is my all new, product improved stegosaurus. And yes I know that they don't have eyes like that, but  if required you can skip the eyes and just draw them straight onto the balloon.

A one balloon Plesiosaur a.k.a. the Lochness Monster

This is another of the figures I created in my Dinosaur Period; a period of time comprising 24 hours when I should have been doing something else. As it says in the title, this also doubles as my Lochness Monster. If a kid asks for a monster, then I point out that the only one that I can make lives at Lochness. A simple dinosaur to make, the only bit that requires skill is the Tulip Twist.  Instructions are included below.

Dinosaur - T Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex

This is the dinosaur that the boys really want. So this is a T Rex that I designed. It was inspired by a four balloon design that looked a lot like Godzilla, but I figured I could do it with a single balloon. My only real issue with this is the pinch pop in this figure. Remember to give the pinch pop as long as you can to allow the rubber settle and cold weld. I will usually give a 5 year old a stegosaurus instead of this as the child will destroy this figure in about five seconds. However a 10 year will be quite happy with this when they are not trying to disassemble it. I am now working on a two balloon T Rex so I do not get these issues. Instructions to make this darling of the Late Cretaceous are below.

How to make Pterodactyl with one 260Q Balloon

This is my Pterodactyl design. I later turned it into the bat. Most boys can identify this instantly. The major problem with this figure is the three bubble pinch pop. I do not really trust those, but when you need a couple more ends and only want to use one balloon, then there are not a lot of choices. Instructions to make this are below. Let us know what you think of this figure.

How to make a Monoceratops/Triceratops with one 260Q Balloon

This is my version of the Triceratops. I used to give it three horns by putting a couple bits of left over balloon under the frill. But in the end I decided it was just better with one horn. From what I understand the Monoceratops is a real dinosaur and was around before the better known triceratops. It's another dinosaur for ones collection. Video on how to make it is below.

How to make a Anklyosaurus with one 260Q Balloon

This was the first dinosaur of eight that I designed in a 24 hour period. I was meant to be doing a medical physics assignment, but instead got a great range of dinosaurs. Thankfully the Lecturer knew that I was a professional entertainer so he granted me a 24 hour extension on the assignment. It is based on my Armadillo. The Anklyosaurus, a.k.a. the club tail, is the easiest of the dinosaurs that I make. Good luck. Instructions are below.

How to Make a Balloon Brontosaurus with one 260Q.

This design is inspired by Marvin L. Hardy's design of the same animal.. By removing a bubble here adjusting a couple there, I believe this is a better basic design. But then again, I would say that. Instructions in the video below.

Dinosaur - Stegosaurus

One day I was meant to be doing a medical physics assignment; instead I designed seven different dinosaurs and an armadillo. This is the second dinosaur that I designed and it is a favourite of mine. If kids ask for a dinosaur, then this is what I hand them. I know that dinosaurs don't have ears, but it works. Count it as artistic licence. I am currently trying to upgrade this figure. I hope that you have as much fun making it as I had designing it. Below are the instructions.
