I am doing a balloon class at a community center. They would like me to supply a balloon pump for every kid.
What Is best source to buy these? Cheap in price, but decent quality. Thanks Mike

You'll save time and aggravation by just supplying balloons pre-inflated.

Walmart sells an inexpensive starter kit with a decent pump.
Penguinmagic sells a dual action one for $5 |

How many pumps are you talking about? Continental Sales sells the red ketchup bottle pump and a smaller yellow pump for $2-$3 each. But you have to buy a case of them. https://www.continentalsales.net/catalog.php?id=86&numit=22

Kids tend to break pumps. They don't get how to direct the force straight down so they torque the pump handle and it breaks. Years ago I opted to do all the pumping.
If I taught a class today I would buy myself a new Filbert Pump and let the kids use my old one. |

Come prepared with a quiver of inflated balloons. Blow up an entire bag of multicolored. Use the reject balloons to tie bundles. place in a trash bag and you are good to go. Many of the kids will never do this again. So in my opinion, spending time trying to inflate is time that could be spent twisting...which is the end result anyway. From experience, kids have a hard time using pumps.
