Say goodbye to traditional water balloons that leave annoying little pieces all over your yard. These reusable water balloons are a blast for kids ages 2 and up.

Only buy the brand Soppycid, there are other knock offs sold that don’t have protection over the little magnets and can be dangerous for little kids.
