Description
Enjoy creating colorful fruit stress balls that provide a fun and therapeutic way to relieve stress.
Ingredients
- Balloons (various colors)
- Flour (or cornstarch for a gluten-free option)
- Water
- Funnel (or a piece of paper rolled up)
- Permanent markers (for decorating)
- Scissors
- Bowl (for mixing)
- Optional: essential oils (for added aroma)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Balloons
Choose your balloon color based on the fruit you want to create. Stretch the balloon a little by blowing it up and then letting the air out. - Mix Your Filling
In a bowl, mix flour (or cornstarch) and water to create a smooth filling. Sensory Cue: Feel the texture change as you mix; it should be thick but pourable. - Fill the Balloons
Use a funnel (or paper) to help pour the flour mixture into the balloon. Fill it until you reach your desired firmness, then tie off the balloon tightly. Key Action: Squeeze the filled balloon to feel the stress-relief properties kicking in! - Decorate Your Stress Ball
Use permanent markers to draw faces or designs on the balloon. Create any fruit of your imagination—lemons, strawberries, or apples! - Enjoy and Use
Squeeze your new stress ball whenever you feel tension. Place it on your desk or gift it to a friend!
Notes
Swap out flour with rice or beans for different textures. Use food coloring for vibrant colors. Add essential oils for a calming scent. Mini stress balls can be made with smaller balloons.
