My kids came running in with such excitement yelling that they were going to have a water balloon party and invite a bunch of kids in the neighborhood. They had such joy that I just couldn’t say no. My husband gave me the look…the look that said there was no way that he wanted to be standing at the sink filling trying to fill up hundreds of balloons. Never fear, I had seen the solution on TV, we can now fill up hundreds of water balloons fast.
I ordered these from Amazon.
My husband was skeptical but the day we had told everyone to send their kids over he went in the backyard to try this product. It worked!! He connected it to the hose and turned the hose on and within 20 seconds there were a hundred water balloons filled. These things tie themselves! It so fun to watch them fill with water. The fact that they are already tied is amazing.
The kids were absolutely thrilled.
We had to pull all the pink ones out so that the girls could have their own water balloon fight. Boys are icky! 🙂
These kids had a blast and it was so easy for me. I just purchased a couple of packages of water balloons and some cheap popsicles. On a sunny afternoon, I texted a bunch of moms in the neighborhood and told them to send their kids down that afternoon.
Clean Up Trick
Here is another trick. Have popsicles ready after the balloon fight and tell the kids they only get popsicles when they have picked up all the broken balloon pieces. Works like a charm!

So much fun! I’ve been seeing these several places and wondered if they worked. I may have to get some and try them out with my kiddos this summer. I love the idea of popsicles ONLY after all the balloon pieces have been picked up. Genius!
When I used to teach grade 1 we would have a “secret scrap” Whoever cleaned up the one scrap I chose won a small prize. (Like a pencil). Everyone scrambled to be the one to happen to pick it up! Usually I actually didn’t have a scrap it mind even I just chose the hardest worker! ha
Hahaha, love the Popsicle clean up trick. I am going to have to use that next time.
I need this in my life. My son loves water balloon fights.
I have seen this! I want to get it, but wasn’t sure if it actually worked, now I know 🙂 My kids will be thrilled – and I will be thrilled that they stop trying to fill up the balloons in the bathroom and carry them outside.
Yes, it is extra nice to keep everything outside.
You are brilliant! I think I need to do this for the MOMs in my neighborhood! What fun! Water balloon fights are the best.
How does the product work? Do you put it on a hose, or in the sink faucet?
I works on a hose or outdoor faucet. I don’t think it would fit in a sink since it makes 100 balloons in one fill. Takes less than 30 seconds. I can’t believe how inexpensive it is so now we can have water balloons every week.
We purchased Bunch O Balloons last summer. I was honestly SHOCKED that it really worked like it did on TV! I always keep this on hand for my boys now.
Yes, it is so much easier that we can now have water balloons on a random day.
I keep seeing this and I think I am finally ready to buy it. LOVE your clean up tip!
I actually just bought a bunch of these! I can’t wait to try them out with my nephews in a few weeks!
This is amazing, I’d never heard of it before. But I guess they still need to each get tied up. I have a lot of trouble tying them but LOVE water balloon fights.
They actually are pre-tied. It is a cool little invention. There are like a hundred little straws in each balloon and when they fill up they pop off the straw and are already sealed. I actually just edited my post to mention that nifty feature. Thanks for pointing out that I forgot to mention it.
I’ve seen these around and so has my (almost) step-son. He’s turning 9 later this month and wants these for his birthday party. We may just have to pick them up for our house too.
My cousins have been begging me to order that on Amazon, but I wasn’t sure if it would actually work. Glad it does! They love water balloon fights. And secretly, so do I!
What a fun time for the kids! It is so hot here, this would be a perfect way to make a great afternoon for them. I would have never thought to fill them this way.
This is awesome! What a fun way to spend a warm summer afternoon. I love the popsicle trick, nothing motivates kids more than sugar. 😉
We just bought these for my son’s 7th birthday party. I am so glad to see it was a good investment, bring on summer!
So wish this would have been around when I was a kid and I sure know my grandmother would have appreciated it instead of us kids trapesing in and out of her clean kitchen all wet and dirty to fill our balloons!
Awesome! Wondered if these really worked well. This year I am all about the backyard summer camp! These will be perfect!
OOh perfect for a good summer party, especially one with a pool ( if anyone has one going let me know lol)! Water balloon fights are so much fun!
Omg what a neat little gadget!!! Water balloon fights are the best! I need this thing
Too funny! My friend just purchased one and told me “You need to blog about this!” Its awesome right! 🙂 Good job doing it before I could! lol
Great minds think alike!
I think I saw this gadget when it was in production stage. I thought it was a great idea then. I think I need one of these in my life. The heat has arrived to Texas and water balloons are a fun way to cool off!
