2012-01-13T10:14:00.000-08:00

Unlike clowns and sometimes-scary mechanical on-stage performers, balloon animals consistently deliver smiles. Jane and Hermine of Anais & I recognized the joy in these air-filled toys and silk-screen printed balloon elephants, bunnies, poodles, dinosaurs and giraffes on 100-percent cotton tees. Sizes 2 and 4 wholesale for $38; 6 and 8 for $48.
