water bomb

Thrown wet balloon

A water bomb is a balloon filled with water, meant to be thrown and burst on impact—a warm-weather toy or prank.

The kids ambushed us with water bombs.

In British usage, water bomb also names the folded paper container that can hold water briefly before soaking through.
