Where can I buy these yo-yo type balloons?

by Annie
(San Francisco)




I was at this party and saw these pretty large circular balloons with looped stretchy string on one side (opposite to the blowing air end). This allowed the kids to loop them through one side and bounce them around on their hands in a yo-yo action. The kids went wild and loved these.

Do you know what kind of balloons these are and where I can get them?

Perhaps you mean punch-ball balloons?
by: Stig

You say they were LARGE round balloons, if so, they were probably punch-ball balloons, which may be inflated to roughly 15" or so. These are widely available from party shops, etc. Even the pound-shops sell them in the UK!

Yo Yo Balloons
by: Margit

I believe the balloons you describe are literally called "Yo-yo" balloons. They are small, round balloons that are filled half with water and half with air.

Contrary to what you described Annie (as you said the string is attached opposite the balloons neck), the yo-yos have a long elastic with a loop on one end for a finger attached to the neck of the tied, inflated balloon.

When thrown down, the water in the balloon pulls down while the elastic brings it back up, insuring that this "yo-yo" always returns!

Japantoys.com offers a pack of 100 yo-yo balloons complete with sealing clips, rubber bands and a balloon pump for about 20$:
