Kid Summer Craft & Water Play: Summer Sponge Bomb
Summer approaches fast and moms everywhere are beginning to hear the sounds..."It's toooo hot to play outside"! Well, let the kids cool off a bit with this oh-so-easy and reusable summer time craft that will keep the kids cool all summer long!
Here's what you need!
For each splash bomb you'll need 3 plain kitchen sponges.
Plus:
Scissors
Strong string
Bucket and water!
Take three sponges (be sure they are slightly damp. Most come damp but if they're too dry, lightly dampen them)
Take your scissors and cut the sponges lengthwise into five individual strips.
Stack them up as shown!
Then, simply tie a piece of the string around the center... 
...and pull tightly!
Finished product! Trim off the ends after you double knot it!
Then let the games begin! Get buckets (or bowls) of water and have kids saturate ball and toss it back and forth to each other!
They'll squeal with delight!
Happy Summer Fun!
