Thickened Punch Balloons Party Favors for Kids Heavy Duty, Assorted Color Punching Balloons with Rubber Band Handle for Birthday Wedding Children's Day 32pcs.

Despite being “thickened”, the balloons are thinner than I expected. A couple of them popped while pumping, and they looked sheer when pumped. Kids had a blast though, that’s all that matters.

Decor. A plastic tablecloth over them, a couple of eyes and they hung as PAC man ghosties

The balloons were great, but the handles kept breaking like old rubber bands that crumble. I spent most of my time figuring out how to put a new band on to make them work right.

Got these as part of a goody bag for end of the year class party and the kids loved them!

These are not the punch balloons of the party. There are a little thicker than a regular balloon. The pop easily.

I bought these because I was having trouble finding round balloons that were actually round and needed them for an art project. When I saw these, I thought I'd take a chance since they look pretty round in the photos. If you blow them up only part way, they're fairly round, but if you overinflate them, they become elongated like an egg.I did also try them as punching balloons for nostalgia's sake (I couldn't resist!) and they were great. The molded-in loop part in the balloon is a nice step up from having to tie the rubber band around the balloon knot like we used to have to do when I was a kid. The rubber bands are multi-colored and so far have held up for me. It's also nice that the rubber bands are preinstalled on the balloons so you don't have to fumble with them. Blowing up the balloon was easy -- I don't have a device, so I just did it the old-fashioned way with my mouth and had no problems at all. Lastly, the colors are fun and vibrant.Although they didn't work that well for my project, they are great for their intended purpose. And if you need a thickened balloon for an art project and don't care that it's a bit oblong, these would work well.

Bought these because they were so affordable. They popped on their own the second they made contact with grass in the backyard. We've bought punch balloons from Target and Party City in the past with no issues on grass or with kids playing rough. These lasted seconds and were a disappointment.

I bought these because they said "thickened" for my 2 year old grandson. Needless to say, they are disappointing.
