A flexible bag that can be inflated with helium or air. Often for decoration for parties. They are commonly made from latex and come in countless colors and many sizes, ranging approximately from small water balloons to huge 96 inch balloons.

Not to be confused with

• ball
• beach_ball
• exercise_ball
• space_hopper
• bubble
• condom_balloon - With water balloons being a thing that exists, perhaps it makes sense to treat these as a type of condom and balloon.
• pool_toy

General guidelines

• The primary difference between a balloon and, an inflatable pool toy is one is designed to float in the air, and the other is designed to float in the water. Situations where it is ambiguous tend to default to pool toy over balloon, but perhaps it may make sense to not choose either in the case of living examples.
• Balloons do not typically have nozzles. This distinguishes them from other inflatables.
