" Hi Malik the magic guy expertvillage.com and now a few words on balloon safety. This is a balloon eye patch and this is also a really bad idea. You don't want to put near a kids eyes that pop and hurt them. One of the other key things about balloons is never ever ever put a balloon in your mouth. You don't want kids putting balloons in there in mouth and actually a lot of places just don't allow balloons if there are kids under two around. There are some laws regarding on how old you can give how old of a kid you can give balloons. Let me start that again. There are some laws regarding how old has to be before they can even get a balloon. In most places it is two years old. One of the reasons I use pump is so the kids while I'm working don't see me putting a balloon in there mouth and if a kid is really small I tell them this is a bad idea. If you have to come up with some kind of joke like there are made out of frog legs and animal hair or something like that. Tell them they don't want to be chewing on them. There is idea that I got from a book that you can get the sore apple spray that they use for dogs and spray it on balloons. But I don't know if that is a great idea cause the kids are still putting it in there mouth. So really is what you want to do is just make sure that you are not putting this near somebody's mouth, somebody's eyes, or somebody's face because they can get hurt and that is a bad idea."
