Let the kids cool off a bit this summer with this oh-so-easy splash bomb that will keep the kids wet and giggly all summer long! These are reusable too, making them a more environmentally-friendly alternative to water balloons, and less messy too. Soak them in water and they will splash when thrown.
What you need:
- 3 plain kitchen sponges
- Scissors
- Strong string
- Bucket and water
What to do:
Take three slightly dampened sponges. Most come damp but if they're too dry, lightly dampen them. Using your scissors, cut the sponges lengthwise into five individual strips.
Stack them up as shown!
Then, simply tie a piece of the string around the center ... and pull tightly!
Finished product! Trim off the ends after you double knot it! Then let the games begin! Get buckets (or bowls) of water and have kids saturate the ball and toss it back and forth to each other! They'll squeal with delight!
Happy Summer Fun!
