We received the new Bunch O Balloons Party Pump and additional balloons for free from ZURU to play with and review. Opinions are our own.

We are big fans of Bunch O Balloons in this house. For Father’s Day each year I love doing a big Water Balloon fight and we always do it with Bunch O Balloons. But now, if I want to throw a huge party and instead of blowing up balloons one at a time and getting light-headed I can use the new Bunch O Balloons Party Pump.

The nice thing about the party pump is that it can fill 40 balloons at one single time. The kids and I demonstrated how this would work in our video below. However, what I did not illustrate in the video was that you can re-use these balloons if you keep them on the plastic stems. I’m thinking that this would come in very handy for a school that had to decorate for a dance or something like that. Get some Bunch O Balloons in your school colors, blow them up and when the dance is over collect them all and then reuse them at the next function. Just put them back on the party pump and re-inflate.

The pump is not just for filling Bunch O Balloons/ You can use it to fill up other inflatables like pool toys and air mattresses. They include adapters for those things in the package, which for $14.99 is a great price. Speaking as someone who has had to replace his pump for the air mattress in the past, this is a good price. Bunch O Balloons is available exclusively at Walmart at http://www.bobparty.shop/walmart.

Today the National Geographic Kids 2020 Almanac has been released. We were fortunate to receive and advanced copy of this beautiful almanac for free from National Geographic. Andrew took it and immediately began reading and pouring through the beautiful photos. I’ve always enjoyed National Geographic. When I was a kid they did not make these almanacs specifically for kids like they do now. In fact the Almanac is celebrating its 10th anniversary. I had the full on magazine sent to me monthly by my Aunt. The photos have always been outstanding and this Kids Almanac is no exception. The almanac is $14.99 and packed with so many great features.

  • Fun and games, including activities, jokes, quizzes and comics
  • Practical resources, including homework help and fast facts and maps of every country
  • Exciting sections on pop culture, cool technology, extreme exploration and more
  • Lighthearted favorites like the “Cutest Animals of 2020!”

National Geographic opens up the world to kids because of the variety of topics and how they immerse kids into so many great experiences and places. The National Geographic Kids Almanac is designed to inspire young readers to be the change they want to see in the world around them, encouraging them to become more involved environmentally, socially and in other ways. Inside the almanac kids will learn about the adventures of real-life National Geographic explorers:

  • Christine Chen, geologist and climate scientist
  • Elizabeth Kapu'uwailani Lindsay, anthropologist and filmmaker
  • Guillermo de Anda, underwater archaeologist
  • Enric Sala, marine ecologist
  • Katey Walter Anthony, aquatic ecosystem ecologist
  • Kakani Katija, bioengineer
  • Krithi Karanth, conservation scientist
  • Barrington Irving, pilot
  • Brian Skerry, underwater photographer

There is a special contest happening around this year’s almanac. In this year’s edition, National Geographic Kids launches the 20/20 Visionary Challenge, asking readers to imagine the world 10 years from now and to picture a positive change, invention or discovery they’d like to see become reality, in whatever area interests them: animals, people, places, science, technology or beyond — the sky’s the limit! Kids will be able to read some of their great ideas in next year’s Almanac 2021.

Inspiration and information on how to submit 20/20 Visionary Challenge entries, as well as other digital extras, can be found at natgeokids.com/almanac. Continue reading The National Geographic Kids 2020 Almanac is Available Now
