If your kids are anything like mine, they have an insatiable love of fidgets. Harper had a ton of fun making and squishing this pretty stress ball. Even teenage Rolf was caught playing around with one. Can you guys believe that cute little blond haired boy is 14 now? Harper is 10, and we have been filling our days with little projects, as her brother has his own social life and agenda this summer. From ipad stands to 3d Ladybugs, we have been getting super crafty. This stress ball craft might be our favorite yet.
Supplies:
Balloons
Water beads *we used blue, green and purple beads.
Faux pearls and glitter if desired.
Soak water beads until they are activated. To make this easy peasy, use a water bottle to activate for easy transfer.
If you want to add any beads, confetti or glitter, add it to the bottle now.
Stretch your balloon over the water bottle.
Empty the water beads directly into the balloon.
Remove and tie the balloon off.
Happy squishing!
