Today’s craft supply list:
✔ Balloons
✔ Orbeez
✔ Children
✔ Questionable decision making
We spent the afternoon making homemade Orbeez squishies, and honestly, it was a hit.
Were they fun? Absolutely.
Did they eventually pop? Also absolutely. 😂
The squishies with fewer Orbeez, less water, and less balloon stretch obviously lasted much longer. Apparently stretching a balloon to its maximum capacity isn’t the best recipe for longevity. 🤣🤣 but it was so fun watching every inch of space get over taken by these growing beads.
The kids didn’t seem to mind. They spent hours squishing them, comparing them, and carrying them around before each one met its inevitable fate.
As much as I love creating things for My Yarn Oasis, some of my favorite projects are the ones I do with my kids. These are the moments they’ll remember long after the balloons are gone and the last stray Orbeez has been discovered under the couch.
