Stress Ball Craft

Another craft from FRAZZLED that is so quick and easy your children could make them and sell them to make some money. It's inexpensive enough that the original start-up cost is affordable. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 1. A medium sized balloon 2. A half cup of sand or salt 3. A funnel DIRECTIONS: 1. Place the balloon over the small end of a funnel. 2. Pour a half of a cup of sand or salt into the funnel and fill the balloon. Be sure to use all of the half cup of filling stuff. 3. Squeeze out any air that may be in the balloon and tie off the end. VARIATIONS: Use other fillers to give your stress ball a different feel. Try cornstarch, rice, oatmeal, flour, etc. You can use the Stress Ball as a ball for your children to toss around. You can also use some material and sew it as a covering for your Stress Ball. If you crochet or knit, you can make a "sock" for a covering. Have fun and be creative!

Love the idea of a stress ball...I need one at work...I think I would have to stuff about 10 balloons together to make it thick enough that it would pop...grin...
