SOPPYCID Water Balloons Reusable, Summer Water Balls for Boys and Girls, Easy to Fill, Fun For Kids Ages 3-12, Water Splash Ball Pool Beach toys for Water Balloon Fights, Bath time, Pool-15Pack

Since last year Ive seen a couple more versions of these pop up but most still seem to be made by one manufacturer and sold under many different names. These things are miles better than old-style disposable balloons. I was admittedly a bit skeptical how well they would work but if there is a trade-off it is far outweighed by the benefits. The obvious best part is how reusable they are. We have several sets now and we have been using them almost daily. I recommend using them on grass as weve used them around a concrete pool/chain-link fence and a couple have ended up with pinprick leaks. Nothing that makes them unusable but something to keep in mind. They arent indestructible if you get a bunch of kids whod rather play keep-away than to keep filling and throwing them. Enforcing a one-per-hand rule helps things go a little smoother. A couple have eventually ripped or has the hinge break but that was after a LOT of what Id call misuse. Still a lot better than ending up with rubber shreds everywhere for every single balloon. Unlike a regular balloon these are simple to fill and they almost fill themselves. You just put them underwater(pool or a big bucket) and help them close and you get a solid and completely full balloon. When out of the water the magnets hold the silicone seal perfectly shut and nothing leaks. Keep in mind that because theres no air they will sink in a pool. Being able to go from empty, to filled, throw, and refilled in 10 seconds is a real gamechanger and our kids can play with them for hours. It takes a little practice to learn how to effectively throw them because if you trying throwing it like a baseball they will just open in your hands. They more need to be lobbed. Ill mention they hit just a little bit harder than a regular balloon and while getting one in the face is a little surprise we havent had any injuries. This is a pretty good starter set so everyone can have a few to throw this summer

Surprisingly, my boys had been wishing for these and never said a word to me. Their excitement when I opened the package was worth 10x what the cost would be. So, on to the acid test, two 9-year-olds and one 11-year-old cut loose in the backyard with two buckets of water and these water balls. Absolute non-stop laughter and fun. The only downside is that a full ball, thrown very hard, can leave a noticeable red mark

I should have purchased these a long time ago. Such a game changer. No mess picking up little pieces of balloon everywhere! Easy to fill, refill and no leakage. My kids had a blast with these. Definitely recommend!
