Jarren shows us how to make a simple stress ball using balloons and Orbeez.

1.You will need: Orbeez (water beads), a balloon, scissors and an empty plastic bottle

2.Pour the orbeez into the plastic bottle and fill the bottle up with water. Leave overnight.

3.You should then end up with a plastic bottle full of orbeez. You are now ready to start making your stress ball.

4. Blow your balloon up and twist it so that the air cannot escape.

5. Put the mouth (top) of the balloon over the top of the bottle and untwist the balloon.

6. Squeeze the bottle until the orbeez start to flow into the balloon. Usually 3 squeezes enough.

7. Remove the balloon from the bottle and slowly let all the air out.

8. Tightly tie the top of the balloon and cut off the extra piece.

YOU ARE DONE!

You can make them in all different shapes and sizes. Enjoy!
