Sponge Water Bombs
Create colorful, reusable sponge water bombs that provide hours of fun and laughter while staying eco-friendly.
Ingredients
Materials
- 1 pack Sponges (preferably dish sponges or other soft sponges) Choose soft sponges for best results.
- 1 each Scissors To cut the sponges into strips.
- 1 each String or rubber bands To secure the sponge strips together.
- 1 each Bucket or large bowl For soaking the sponge bombs in water.
Instructions
Preparation
- Take the sponges and cut them into strips about 1 inch wide. You will need at least 4 strips per sponge.
- Gather 4 strips together and align them so they form a small bundle, ensuring the ends are even for a neat finish.
- Use string or a rubber band to tightly secure the center of the sponge bundle to create a ‘head’ that mimics a sponge water bomb.
- Gently pull apart the strips at the ends to fluff them out, which will increase the surface area and create a more effective water absorber.
- Soak the sponge bombs in a bucket or bowl of water to fully absorb. Once soaked, they are ready for throwing!
Notes
Try using different color combinations and shapes for a vibrant assortment. You can also decorate them with fabric paint.
