Smile for Kids Events
When we’re not creating balloon art or arches at a special event, we’re balloon twisting at our Smile for Kids pop-ups in the GTA.
Follow us on Eventbrite below for fun balloon art, and savoury popcorn.
Visit our Eventbrite website to register for a TICKET and get a free bag of popcorn at our next Smile for Kids event.
Miss Cypriana loves to meet and greet new faces and would love to entertain you with a fun balloon animal or character of your choice.
Making kids happy is my joy.
I have been to some areas in Toronto where the children are seriously deficient in Performing Arts - this makes me very sad. I was trained in classical music and attended Art School as a child, so I speak the language of art fluently. I thank my parents for investing so much money into my Art classes. Art gives me so much joy. I never thought of being a professional balloon artist, until, I realized what joy it brought to all children and their families. The idea of using my talents to make others happy came from God. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what to do. He has been with me on this journey.
The kids always ask me, “Wait, how do you remember so many designs?” My reply, “I practice every day.” I explain how I use latex balloons to sculpt my designs in place of clay. That always gets a big smile. Take care friends and thanks for reading my stories.
Workshops
After a short demonstration of three basic balloon designs and one mystery balloon design, I invite children to create their own balloon designs with my support. The children learn social skills as they interact with peers and adults. They grasp new words, colour, size, numbers, textures, and patterns recognition. As they interact there is a sense of belonging and community.
