Materials 

Instructions 

  • Let’s start with the rice-filled stress ball. First, blow a balloon a few times to inflate it a little bit.
  • Next, stretch the tip of the balloon over the end of the funnel.
  • Now, add some rice to the funnel so that it starts falling into the balloon.
    Add as much rice as will fit into the balloon.
  • Remove the balloon from the funnel and squeeze it to deflate. Tie a knot.
    Your first ball is ready!
  • To make the second ball, repeat the first couple of steps. Blow a balloon a little bit and stretch the tip over the end of the funnel.
  • Now, add your plastic beads to the funnel.
  • The beads should fall straight into the balloon. You can help push them in using a pen or a stick.
  • Remove the balloon from the funnel and tie a knot. Your second ball is complete!
  • To make the third ball, use your funnel to add cornstarch to the plastic water bottle.
  • Then, blow up the balloon and twist the end as shown to keep the air in.
  • Stretch the tip over water bottle.
  • The tip should sit perfectly over the top of the water bottle, as shown.
  • Turn the water bottle upside down and shake the bottle so that the cornstarch falls into the balloon.
  • Squeeze to remove the excess air from the balloon. Be sure to do this slowly to avoid spilling the cornstarch.
    Now, tie a knot and enjoy using your stress balls!

Notes

*I just cut the funnel out of the water bottle because a water bottle funnel has a wider pipe than a kitchen funnel, which works better for this project.
