Last summer, I was planning our water fun day for our children’s ministry and bought several packs of water balloons to prepare for the fun day. The kids love it. We all have fun. But I am left with blisters on my hands from looping knots of dozens of small water balloons.
Long story made short….my son gets sick. I make a midnight run to Kroger. As I am heading out the door I see a discount section. I’m not sure if the intercom said “clean up on aisle three” or if I heard an angelic choir but for 99 cents each I saw an item that my hands would thank me for many years to come.
Tie Knot Water Balloons. It is quick. It is easy. And it ties the balloons for you, as well as helps you fill the water balloon up.
My time was cut drastically. My hands were pain free.
Watch the video. You’ll see how easy it is.
Here is a link to Think Geek for $5 per tool. You might go ahead and grab two or three so that you don’t get stuck doing them all yourself. Now you can tie water balloons in a shorter amount of time and enjoy it more!
