DIY balloon fidget toys
Let's make your own squishy balloon fidget toy!
It’s fun and easy to make your own squishy fidget toy!
I bet you have some balloons somewhere at home. After all kids love balloons and every dollar store has plenty.
And that’s basically all you need already, besides scissors, a sharpie and water.
So let’s get started!
You will need 2 balloons of the same size.
Grab your first balloon and cut some small holes.
We wanted to make animals, so I placed the holes where the nose, ears and tail should be.
Take your second balloon, fill it with water and tie it.
Don’t put too much in it. You want it nice and squishy.
Now take the first balloon with the holes and pull it over the water balloon.
Last step, take your Sharpie and draw a funny face on your new fidget toy.
Have fun playing!
Just remember, young children should not be left alone with balloons. They can burst and beside getting them wet in this case, pose a choking hazard for your little one.
