Party balloon
A kind of balloon · also called latex balloon, toy balloon, rubber balloon
About
A party balloon is a lightweight inflatable decoration that stands about a foot tall when fully inflated.
Toy balloons come in many shapes, but round latex varieties usually span between 4 and 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) in diameter when inflated. Before inflation, the empty rubber skin fits easily in the palm of a hand. Blowing it up expands its volume dozens of times over while keeping its mass essentially unchanged. Specialty display balloons can reach several feet wide, but everyday party balloons stay compact.
From Wikipedia
