Keeps them cool and they have lots of fun. We even use them in our pool and make a game of who ever has the last baloon not busted wins. But then of course the non winners get to bust it after the game is throu.
My kids loved this as they were growing up, and now my 8 yr. old has a blast, we like to put a little liquid soap in it, that way while all the kids are running around the van, I kind of get my van washed, all I have to do is rinse it off!
