I could hear water bubbling out of the tiny hole when I squeezed it and my hands were getting a little wet, so I threw it away.īalloons become fragile over time and you really don’t want to clean up a water bead mess if it pops in a drawer somewhere. We squeezed our first one like crazy and by the next day it had a tiny pin sized hole in it. We made two Orbeez stress balls and one of them lasted a month, and the other one only lasted 24 hours.
They’re really fun to squeeze and they get squeezed a lot harder than other stress balls (just because it’s so fun to see the water beads in the stretched balloons!), so they may not last that long. These stress balls should last about 2 weeks – but that’s not a guarantee. You could also roll a scrap of paper into a cone and insert it in the end of the balloon. If you don’t have a funnel, cut the top off a water bottle and use it as a funnel. You can kind of see the Orbeez when using a white balloon, especially if you shine a flashlight through as you squeeze your stress ball. If you don’t want to buy clear balloons, you can use any other colour balloon – you’ll still be able to feel the water beads in your stress ball, you just won’t be able to see them. What type of balloon works best?Ī clear balloon (12 inch size) will work best because you’ll be able to see the colours and outlines of the water beads inside the balloon. They’re also non-toxic and biodegradable. A tiny amount goes a really long way, so they’re very affordable to use for projects like this. They were originally created to keep moisture in plants, but now you see them all over Pinterest being used for kids sensory activities. Orbeez (also known as water beads) are small, round polymer beads that absorb water and expand to 100 times their original size. My kids have tried it both ways and you can't get many "pre-grown" water beads into the balloon through a funnel. With its cute and playful design, this stress ball is sure to become a favourite companion and go-to tool for relaxation and stress relief.It's best to grow the water beads inside the balloon, rather than trying to get them into the balloon after they're grown.
