United StatesBest toy we’ve gotten in a long time!
As a parent who hates balloons for a variety of reasons, this is a must have! My kids are obsessed with these balloon covers. I’m stocking up to gift to every kid we know!

That is so great to hear! Thanks for sharing :)
United StatesIt’s a fun take on balloons
My kids say it makes the balloon fall down a bit faster than usual but they liked it. Fun to play with.

Yay, thanks for your review! :)
United StatesGreat indoor toy,
We received these as a gift. This is a great idea to satisfy my children’s love of throwing balls indoors and is a wonderful activity for rainy or winter days. The silk cover definitely improves the longevity of the balloons, but they still lose air. I tried to undo and retie ours but ended up making holes in the balloon. Any suggestions on where to get replacement balloons that are more heave duty? I am trying to reduce all our plastic waste in all areas so the idea of cycling through a new balloon each week doesn’t cheer me.

Hi Larrissa! Thick balloons can be purchased at party supply stores or craft stores. Also, you may want to try under filling your balloon with air and double knotting it! Our Balloon has lost a little air, but it has worked for us for a month now :)
United StatesBeautiful!
I loved the balloon ball the second I seen it! We got the starry night one, and my children play with it every day. ✨

United StatesBeach ball alternative and a suggestion
Love this concept. We ordered the silks in the mail so our ball is the starry night pattern. Am sharing a tip for other parents who may be having difficulty keeping the balloon in tact once blown up. We inserted a small beach ball and it was easy to blow up and has been in tact ever since. A suggestion for Sarah’s Silk: consider using a foil ball balloon (like what is used for helium) - may hold up better.

Fun idea!
