Water Balloon Factory - Fun for Grandkids
Yesterday, Grandma Susan commented on my post about ideas for water activities. She lamented that it takes a L-O-N-G time to make water balloons. I totally agree. Totally.
I was about to commiserate with her when - TA DA - an idea flashed through my head. Don’t others feel the same way? Why hasn’t someone created a gizmo that easily and quickly fills water balloons?
Within a minutes, I found the most fabulous thing that is a MUST for all grannies: A Water Bomb Factory!
You can find them on Amazon for $8.98 (with $3.98 shipping). Or at Things You Never Knew Existed for $8.98. (I don’t know how much shipping costs.) Or at Pinch A Penny for $6.99. (Shipping is free but handling is $8.99!) Leslie’s Pool has them for $7.99 (with $8 for shipping.) There might be other places with a better price or better shipping. These are just two sites that I found in my quick search.
Watch the following video to see just how easy it is to fill and tie a water balloon. Amazing. Totally amazing!
That clinched it for me! I am so going to buy one of these little fellows!

Wow, I need to get one of those too!
I was just doing water balloons for four of my grands on Monday. It takes forever, makes my fingers sore and I always seem to get drenched, then boom with four of them tossing them they are gone in seconds!
A water balloon sling shot is a lot of fun. It takes three kids to operate and it really slows the use of the water balloons down too.
I’ve ordered one so I’ll let you know how it works! A water balloon sling shot. How fun!
That is so cool! I immediately ordered one and Bubby isn’t even old enough for much water balloon fun … except smashing them on the patio and laughing. I can’t wait! Very cool suggestion, Nina. Thank you!
Hi Nina and all - Have you seen another fantastic water (and air) balloon filling solution the Pumponator? Here’s my story - http://bit.ly/Pumponatorpower
I was excited to research and write about Pumponator when I heard that the Pumonator was invented by a 4th grader and that her ’sidekick’ in the adventure was her GrandMom, Donna! It’s so cool to help kids’ change the world’!
Enjoy!
Oops! So sorry I had given a bad link above for my Pumponator story…
