How to Make Stress Balls for Kids
With these easy instructions… This is what you will need
Don’t worry I have written instructions below. This is for the visual learner. Like me 😉
Put the funnel into the water bottle, and pour the flour through it.
Stretch the balloon around the opening of the water bottle.
Turn the water bottle upside down and gently squeeze the flour into the balloon. Make sure to use some pressure because the air helps the balloon open up so the flour can all go in.
After the flour is all in, pinch the balloon and release it from the bottle. The balloon should have a snug fit to the flour inside it. Just make sure there isn’t any extra air the balloon.
Tie the balloon and wipe away any excess flour from the outside.
Toss them in a basket or bucket, and your kids will have fun playing with them throughout the day. Make stress balls kids can play with.
