Our recent weekends have been rather hectic. Memorial day was a small, much needed break for us, but it was followed by a very long mini trip to Ohio to attend our youngest son’s college graduation. Ten hours in a vehicle (one way) is a long time.
But while I was a captive in the co-pilot seat, I managed to work on a new product…crocheted water balloons.
If you are wondering just how these work, no, you don’t fill them. You fill a bucket with water, toss them in to get them wet, then throw them at the nearest unsuspecting target. If they get dry, dip them again and go.
It’s not a great quality video, but our nieces and nephews love them.
They had an absolute blast!
Their mom was stoked because clean up was a breeze. No balloons to take a ton of time filling. No little pieces littering the yard. No worries about latex allergies or the family pet(s) eating any bits missed in the aftermath.
And the fun goes as long as the kids have the energy.
Once the fun is over, just let them dry out. Or, if you prefer (or if they get dirty), toss them in the wash with the beach towels and they’ll be ready to go for the next epic battle.
This pattern from Left in Knots was a great find.
And yes, they are available for purchase from our Etsy store.
