Umikk 150Pcs Long Balloons Kit with Pump 260Q Twisting Animal Magic Balloons, Thickening Latex Skinny Balloons for Shape Assorted Colors for Birthday Party, Festival, Wedding, Christmas Decorations

Fun work activity.

I bought this product for a school project. It’s very easy to blow up and also comes with a pump. But, the balloons only last a week before they start to shrink and go away. Not very long lasting but very pretty!

I'm not sure if it was overgreased or what, but it has a lot of grease on it when it arrived. I wiped off the surface, and after stretching the balloons, I tried to pump some up. It did not pump at all. Fortunately, we had a ball pump. We removed the needle nozzle and it worked perfectly. But if we had not had that, it would have been very disappointing. Otherwise, the balloons worked great for making balloon animals and was about the standard quality that I would expect.

I make balloon animals. There, I’ve said it. It’s not the type of talent people notice at first glance, or really even after being friends for years. Balloon twisting skills are not something you work into normal conversation. So the best way to discover this hidden talent is in the moment of action, when [someone-you-know’s] mesmerized kid stands before you shouting “giraffe!” or “no, a green giraffe, start over!” and [someone-you-know] gawks with slack jaw and cocked eyebrow that you had never before revealed this mysterious hidden side of yourself. The next person in line repeats the whole surprised routine, whether delighted or horrified, because like eating a potato chip, you can’t make just one balloon animal. Before long, your entire church discovers that you make balloon animals. From that point on, for every festival and park day and back to school shindig, you will be THE balloon animal go-to gal. Even though you explain “it’s not that hard,” and “I can teach you in 5 minutes, it’s really very easy,” you will forever be THE one. And when this happens, you will need these balloons, because they are cost effective, colorful, shipped to your doorstep. They inflate, they twist, they tie, and they don’t pop, except occasionally they do, but that’s because they are balloons.

These balloons are much better than the last ones I had. They last with my kids being rough go a day or two. The pump is of poor quality but mostly functional.

The pump came broken which made blowing the balloons up exceedingly difficult and doing it by mouth was nearly impossible. Trying to blow one up to entertain my daughter seemed so simple. Nope. Also the one I got halfway blown up popped pretty quickly. I bought them to cut up and use as rubber bands so it’s fine.

To start, a manual air pump is included , but we didnt use it because it was coated with some sort of oil, maybe to keep it from rusting ( its made of plastic) lost one star.. other than that, the balloons did a good job withstanding the twists and manipulation that goes into animal balloon making , will purchase again if needed , the kids had fun with the sculpted balloons and balloons withstood the kids sword playing with them. 4 stars for that.

I bought these balloons two years ago for a birthday party. They've been sitting in a closet ever since. We pulled them out and made some balloon animals 4 days ago and the balloons are still intact despite the kids untwisting and retwisting them countless times. Only one balloon has popped, and it was stepped on.
