BASIC FUN!
ZURU enters the party and celebration category this year with ZURU Bunch O Balloons Self-Sealing Party Balloons. The self-sealing party balloons take the time and hassle out of blowing up and tying party balloons. Kids can fill, tie, and string up 40 party balloons in just 40 seconds. Users attach the stems to the Electric Party Pump and press go, and the Bunch O Balloons party balloons fill and self-tie within seconds. Each pack comes with pre-attached ribbon and string and an adapter to fill Bunch O Balloons party balloons with helium or using an air compressor. The balloons are also reusable, and the stems are recyclable. Bunch O Balloons Self-Sealing Party Balloons will launch online in March and will be available at Walmart in May with Electric Party Pump and Balloon starter packs and in single color and multicolor packs.
