How to Make A Basic Monkey Using One Balloon

I do three different versions of the monkey; this is the one that I make when I have 20 people waiting and I have to make them fast.  This is essentially the basic monkey figure that everyone makes. The only bit that I have changed is to get rid of the neck. In this version of the monkey, it looks better if the head sits directly on top of the shoulders. Try it yourself. Make one monkey with a one inch bubble as a neck and one without the neck and tell me which you think looks better.  Instructions are in the video clip immediately below.

This is the third and most recent version of the Monkey that I do. I saw a new monkey head and thought that would look great on a standard monkey body. I now do this as my standard monkey unless I am in a real rush.  Below are the instructions.

I usually find that these look best in the solid colours white, pink and blue.
