We live in texas where the heat is no joke. Emmy kids love water balloons but hate having to clean up the mess. I saw a friend share abou these and I almost didn’t buy them because of the price… glad I did! Totally worth it. All the money and time spent on water balloons over the years had me convinced. Received them and they work great! My kids can’t get enough and constantly beg to use them. They can fill them themselves and they don’t hurt when hit. Super easy to use and clean up. Buying more for sure. My kids ages 2, 4, 6 & 8. All could use them easy
