How to Make a Balloon Stress Ball

Making a stress ball is very easy. They can be given as gifts or kept on your desk at home, school, or work.

Steps

1. Fill the balloon with sand
2. When you like the way it feels and it’s just squishy enough, tie a knot at the top.
3. Decorate it with a permanent marker. You can make faces, designs, or even just doodle.
4. Squeeze it to death.

Tips

• You can substitute the sand for flour, rice, or corn starch. Do not use water balloons, for they are too thin and will tear easily.

Warnings

• If you use flour it will poof every where and make a mess

Things You’ll Need

• Balloons
• Sand
• Markers (optional)
