party blowers

Festive breath horns

Party blowers are noisemakers used at celebrations, consisting of a paper or plastic tube that unrolls when you blow into it, usually with a small horn that makes a honking sound.

They're standard equipment at birthday parties and New Year's Eve gatherings: The kids grabbed party blowers and ran around making noise.
