Get ready to create a magical squishy ball. When you squish the ball, you're training your finger and hand muscles. This helps you write, draw, and even tie your shoelaces better. Sometimes school or homework can be stressful. By squeezing and kneading the ball, you can relax and refocus. Now you know why this squishy ball is so special! So, let's get crafting and have fun squeezing, squishing, and learning!

What you'll need

transparent balloon
colored balloons
water
glitter
scissors
funnel

How it works

Grab an empty balloon, a funnel, water, and glitter. Insert the funnel into the balloon and fill it with water. Be careful not to overfill!
Sprinkle in some glitter. This will make your ball sparkle! Now you need to tie the balloon. If that's tricky, ask an adult for help.
If you like, take a second balloon and cut small holes in it. Then, slip this over the first one. When you squish the ball now, a super cool pattern will appear! Voilà! You've made your own magical squishy ball. Have fun squeezing, squishing, and marveling!
