Beat the Heat Challenge Day 6: Make a Sponge Ball... WIN a Bonus Prize!

Today's activity will keep your kids cool and it's something you'll be able to reuse! Make your kids a sponge ball, grab a bucket of water, and watch them have a blast. These sponge balls are also a hit in the bathtub!

One lucky member who participates in today's activity will receive a CafeMom Tote Bag!

Materials Needed:
  Sponges
  Twine, dental floss, or rubber bands
  Scissors
 

Directions:

Cut your sponges into three strips.

Stack your sponges three pieces high. I only did two layers, but you can add more to make your sponge ball bigger.

Squeeze the sponges together and add a twist. Tie your twine or dental floss (or wrap your rubber band) around the center.

Cut off the extra twine (or floss) and fluff out the pieces.

Do your kids have toys that are strictly for the bath or do they play with them throughout the house? What are some of their favorite bath toys?
