A water balloon, or water bomb, is a simple small latex rubber balloon filled with tap water. The user may then throw the water filled balloon at a desired target and the balloon pops leaving the target soaked with water. They are commonly used by children in water fights, and by others in carrying out practical jokes.

Another form of the water bomb is a sheet of paper folded to form a roughly spherical container (see Origami) capable of holding water for some time.[1] These are then filled and thrown in a similar way to the latex version.

Water balloons have one main accessory known as the "water balloon launcher". This can be bought at a toy store or homemade with surgical tubing and a piece of soft leather. The launcher can be used to project the water ballon several hundred feet onto an unsuspecting target.
