Have you ever played with plastic balloons? They come in little tubes and you put a little of the goop on a straw and blow it up? They also smell kind of funny. I used to love to play with them. I found some at the dollar store a while back and I of course had to buy them. I have great memories of being at my grandparents playing with plastic balloons. I decided I would play with them shortly after I bought them. I was talking to my friend Brandy when I was doing them being a complete dork. I decided I would hit one like a volley ball and I hit it in to my spinning ceiling fan. It was a stupid thing to do. I was really scared. I didn’t mean to hit it THAT hard. Thankfully it didn’t do anything but pop and stick to my ceiling fan. Oops.
Sometimes they get holes in them when you blow them up and you have to either fix the hole or put your finger over it then fix it. It’s easy to do you just pinch it. My favorite thing to do is pop them. I will introduce Noah to them when he gets quite a bit older, since they smell so bad and are kind of tricky. I want to share the memories with my son someday.
Do you remember plastic balloons? Did you play with them as a child?
I have never heard to these before. What a cool toy!
ReplyDeleteI remember those! I was never very successful at getting it to work right. Looks like you did well with it. I was kind of surprised to see they still sell it, because the kind we had when I was a kid, always smelled kind of toxic. LOL
ReplyDeleteI used to love those things!! I'll have to look around for some to show my kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI had a best friend in high school who loved them....they're pretty fun!
