Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention provides a water balloon catching toy shield device that is an easy and effective means for catching a water balloon. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a toy shield is configured to comprise a substantially flexible first plane and a substantially flexible second plane. Thus, a balloon may be caught by the toy shield. For example, the toy shield may comprise an elastic first plane and an elastic second plane, where the first plane further comprises an opening. Thus, a user may catch a water balloon through the opening in the first plane so that the water balloon impacts the elastic second plane and is trapped between the two elastic planes without breaking.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, a balloon may be caught by the toy shield.
