This week we are going to create a sponge ball, which is a reusable version of the water balloon. It's better for the environment because you can use it again and again.
And since we are now in the heat of the summer, what better time to get wet! Here is a picture of the sponge balls we are going to make this week. We have modified the directions slightly, to view the full version visit spoonful.com.
What you'll need
- FOR EACH BALL:
- kitchen sponges, six strips for each ball.
- Scissors
- Strong string
How to make it
- For each ball, you'll need 6 sponge strips. Stack the strips three on bottom, three on top. You can vary the colors if you like.
- Loop a piece of strong string around the center of the stack and pull tightly. Double-knot the string and trim the excess.
- For a fast cool-off game, have two players stand a few feet apart, each beside a bucket of water. See how many times they can toss the ball back and forth, taking a step apart and dunking the ball in a bucket before each throw.
- When you get home you can add more sponge strips and make a bigger ball.
