Fill up your Water Balloons with a Dollar Store Water Shooter

Posted in Activity, Fun, Summer by

It is Summer and my family loves a good water balloon fight.

It is such a fun way to stay cool and keeps everyone moving. We were having so much fun with our water balloons and we used up all of our Bunch O Balloons. (insert- Super Sad face here LOL)

Summer Parties have gotten so much easier because of this amazing toy/ product.

That’s right! You read it correctly all of the costumes seen below can be made out of a box and done inexpensively. When kids are young they say they have more fun with the box the expensive toys came in then the toy itself. I would say that is 100% true even for Halloween costumes!

Our first costume is the Rubix Cube:
