DIY Christmas Gifts: Squishy Stress Balls

First DIY christmas gift to be marked off the list was picked out by my son & hubby. They've been watching this youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1zZE_kJ8rQHgLTVfobLi_g and wanted to make "Squishy Ninja Balls."

Here's the tutorial we followed:

Supplies needed:

Bag of flour

Dollar store balloons

two water bottles (one wide mouth, one regular)

scissors

Notes: pay CLOSE attention to how he releases the air from the balloon once the flour is in... otherwise you'll have flour launchers in the hands of your 11 yr old and 3 yr old which leads to a HUGE mess of white flour all over the table (and you) :) 

Kids loved these so much we went back to the dollar store the next day and bought more flour and balloons so they could make them to keep :) 

The kids made 6 to gift to friends or family.
