One suggestion about the hats is to have a number of different styles in mind ahead of time. I don't mean 20 different really fancy hats, little things that can change your basic hat and make it seem different to the kids. For example: with the basic helmet type hat, take a second balloon and almost fully inflate. On one hat find the middle and attach at the front of the hat and attach the two ends to the back of the hat. On the next hat find the middle of the second balloon and attach it to the middle of the center bubble and bring one end down on each side and attach in the middle of the sides to make it look like a crown. On the third hat take the second balloon and attach in the middle of the center bubble then twist it around itself a few times and twist the ends together so that it looks like a weather vane on top the kids head. This makes the hats look different to the kids but it is still easy and fast for you.
