Long summer weekends usually means grilling, relaxing and fun in the sun. And since the kids are already in the pool, why not break out the water balloons?
Of all the fun summer toys we’ve been checking out this season, a family favorite has been the water balloon launcher, KAOS Nemesis Wrist Launcher. After filling up the cool textured balloons via the handy garden hose nozzle, big kids can launch their water balloons with the KAOS Nemesis Wrist Launcher. Likened to a lacrosse stick (albeit for water balloons,) the launcher can launch water balloons up to 100 ft.
Even though I have pix of the kid playing, it was my husband and the neighbor kids who had the most fun seeing who could launch their balloons the furthest. The smaller kids had fun trying to locate where the balloons landed and picked up the broken pieces. And of course, it was the grown men who had the most fun with the Kaos Nemesis.
From personal experience, I don’t recommend actually launching the balloons AT people. The launchers make for a fun poolside or BBQ game, and one that gets everyone involved, from the filling of balloons, to launching, to measuring/cleaning balloons. The best aspect from the official balloon filler? The nozzle that helps you streamline the process!
Intended for kids 8 and up, the KAOS Nemesis from Imperial Toys retails around $14 and can be found at retailers like Target, Toys R Us and Kohl’s.
