These are the only way to do water balloons! It's so easy even my 6 & 7 year old could fill up the balloons on their own. The only problems is it can be a little pricey for such a short amount of time once the balloon fight begins.

If you are still filling water balloons up by hand you are missing out on the best invention in water ballon history.
You will never look back after buying these.
Yes a little expensive, but so is your time.

Can't purchase these in CA....soon we will be restricted from purchasing anything in CA...and we'll have to go back to making everything ourselves....!!! But that's beside the point. Had them shipped to the grandparents....and they drove them over on their next visit.

So....if you've never used these......do! It's super easy to fill hundreds of water balloons.....in just a few minutes. And with birthday parties happening all summer long.....in 100 degree heat makes the kid parties that much more fun.

I would suggest comparing prices on similar item at both store and online. I have found similar packages for much cheaper. They are a major hit for little ones though both my Neice and nephew love it because they can screw these on the water hose independently. They love watching the balloons fall off the sticks as they fall to the ground they run for them as they roll off into the dirty in the backyard.

UPDATED review: 5 stars! I originally rated this product with two stars simply because the price is up there HOWEVER opening these today it is SO worth it to pay for the quality as it is much better than the 3 packs you can get for 7 dollars.These get HUGE and actually pop when thrown at the feet. The cheaper ones I've bought for my neice and nephew in the past on amazon stay super tiny and do not pop when thrown at each other. They literally have to end up squeezing them on themselves because they do not pop when thrown. These ones you can actually throw and SOAK each other with. Literally tons of fun!

We had a family picnic today. The kids were so thrilled with filling the balloons up then tossing them at each other. It was hot day. This cool them down. They had s blast. The dads did too. I just purchased this item again!
