Balloon Pets

I was wandering in Mid Valley this afternoon as I'm on half day leave. There are so many children toys & books fair in conjunction with the school holiday, it's definitely a good place for parents & kids to drop by & shop, if they don't mind the traffic jam & big crowd.

Check out for some of the fairs & activities here

In one of the fair held by MegaKidz at Center Court, I saw these cute "Balloon Pets".


I'm sure these "Balloon Pets" will capture the kids' interest, but when I look at the price, each of these pets cost RM42.90 and for the Dinosaurs & Hello Kitty (is this also a pet??), it'll cost RM55.90, not cheap huh? Well I'm not sure about the other parents but it's definitely not something that I'm willing to spend for my kids.

There are toy fairs everywhere now. BAngsar Village was having a smaller one and they have a Thomas Tank bouncy castle. RM5 for 20minutes, but they dont really monitor the time
