A dad in Texas has come up with a genius invention to help keep kids entertained during the summer months. Josh Malone is the father of 8 children and and he’s created a product called 'Bunch O Balloons'.

The simple hose attachment allows 100 water balloons to be filled in less than 60 seconds. Typically mom and dad get the brunt of the work when it comes to filling water balloons one by one so the new invention takes that time-consuming load off.

The attachment contains 37 balloons connected to tubes with plastic rings. Once the water is turned on, they automatically fill. Once the water is turned on, they automatically fill.

After they’re fully loaded, the water has to be shut off and the balloons need a gentle shake. That little bit of movement automatically ties the liquid-filled inflatable’s.

The whole process takes a matter of seconds. 41-year-old Malone remarked “It’s so obviously simple it should have been done a long time ago. This one went a lot smoother than a lot of my ideas and pretty much worked the first time, which was a pleasant surprise.”

Malone launched his idea on Kickstarter and it’s a major hit. He set a goal of 10 grand and has, thus far, raised over $160,000.
