The time has come and there are three options. The age old messy one, the short lived one and the reusable option, no cleanup required.
It is time for water fights, afternoons in the pool, running through the sprinklers and all of the other creative ideas you can come up with to cool off!
Summertime Fun: Sponge Splash Balls
Water fights are always a favorite. And for those there are three options…
Option One: Water Balloons
Wrap each balloon around the end of a faucet, fill the tiny balloon without filling it to the breaking point then tie each one with numbing fingers. Twelve minutes later, pick up every little piece of torn latex strung across the yard.
Option Two: Water Guns
Fill each Water Gun with water out of the faucet, wait one minute and 45 seconds then refill every Water Gun. Play, refill, repeat.
Option Three: Sponge Splash Balls
Make Splash Balls out of Sponges, hand them over to the kids along with a bucket of water or a pool of water. Pour a glass of Sweet Iced Tea and listen to the giggles of Summertime Fun. Oh! And when the Water Fight is over save the Sponge Splash Balls for another day.
Summertime Fun: Sponge Splash Balls
You will need the following to make 1 Splash Ball.
Two Sponges
One Rubber Band
A Pair of Scissors
Cut each Sponge into thirds (long ways).
Gather 12 Sponge strips and hold them together in a 3 x 4 stack.
Wrap a Rubber Band around the middle of the Sponge strips (long ways).
Gently pull each Sponge strip to separate them and to fill in the gaps.
All set! Now it’s time to grab that glass of Sweet Iced Tea and head outside for some water fun with your Sponge Splash Balls.
What is your favorite way to cool off during the summer months?
