Dora The Explorer 32in Balloon

I bought this silly balloon for my 3 year old granddaughter who is wild about this character. We mixed it in with a balloon bouquet for her third birthday. It was very disappointing since it held the helium less than a week while the cheap balloons were still afloat! I wouldn't order this again. A suitable substitute could probably be found locally. The shipping was fast and I'm sure the vendor didn't know that it was a dud and sold it in good faith. I see no way the problem could have been noted before shipping. All of this to say that in no way do I fault the merchant.

I ordered this balloon along with the boots balloon for my daughters 2nd birthday because we were having a dora themed birthday party. We blew the balloon up and it looked great. 5 minutes later it was sinking to the floor. There was a hole along the seem at the top of dora's head. We tried taping it, but it didn't help. I ended up just taping her on the edge of a table just to hang. I suppose I should have checked for holes before THE DAY OF the party. Lesson learned. Boots worked great however, and lasted for weeks after the party.

At 32 inches, it's about as tall as a 2 yr old :) My little niece is obsessed with Dora and this was a perfect addition to another Dora themed party. She's going to love it!
