Abstract

A water balloon toss sling includes a pouch having a substantially triangular-shaped shallow cup-like configuration adapted for seating a water-filled balloon, a first length of cord attached at a pair of opposite ends along one side of the pouch and being adapted for placement over outwardly extending fingers of a person's hand, and a second length of cord attached at one end to an opposite end of the pouch and being formed into a loop at the opposite end of the cord for encircling a wrist of a person such that the pouch is suspendable below the person's hand, permitting rotational movement for tossing a water balloon from the sling. The pouch has a pair of spaced first and second corners and a third corner being equidistantly spaced from the first and second corners. The first length of cord is attached at its opposite ends to the first and second corners of the pouch. The second length of cord is attached at one end to the third corner of the pouch.
