Lockdown Activity 2 - Free Choice

 Today I am going to show you how to make a stress ball! I made one and it feels SOOOOO good! Here are the things you will need:

3 Balloons (any colour)

Scissors

(If you have any of these)You can choose between:

Flour, rice, beads (very small ones), play-dough, orbeez or kinetic sand.

OPTIONAL - Markers for decoration

First step: Get the balloon and fill it up with the thing you want  (I used rice)

Second step: Blow the balloon and let some air out 3 times

Third step: Tie the balloon up and cut the excess part (leave the knot on)

Fourth step: Cut the leftover 2 balloon's mouth

Fifth step: Wrap the first balloon around the filled balloon

Sixth step: Wrap the second balloon on the opposite side of the first balloon

Seventh step: S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E your stress out!

OPTIONAL: Decorate it!

It feels SOOOO good!


Here are the pictures and instructions of the one made with flour:

    I love the stress ball you created and I am super impressed with how you broke down the steps so that we can make our own if we want to. I also enjoyed the way you used capital letters, hyphens and exclamation marks to create a sense of how relaxing these stress balls can be. Great job.

    I think it was a great idea to share this stress ball creation. This can be quite a stressful time for people and I am sure this will be really helpful.

    I know it can be a bit of a hoha to stop during the process to take photos bit I would love to see some more photos of the steps so I can get a better idea of what I have to do.

    Thanks for sharing this with us Nicole.

  2. Good afternoon Nicole it is great to see you using your free time to create such a practical item, everybody should have one.
    Your Instructions are clear and to the point.
    Which is neat as it means anyone who sees this could make their very own stress ball too.
    It also sounds like it might be a bit of a messy process but from your result it sounds worth it!
