So with this heat and great weather we've been spending so much time outside and I've been kind of slacking on introducing Jackson to new textures and educational kind of stuff. My B. I made up for it today though. It was sticky and buggy out, so we did lots of fun stuff!
A few weeks ago, I picked up some balloons on clearance on Target. I decided to fill them with a bunch of different textures so that Jackson could squeeeeeze them (remember those old school stress balls?!).
**Note: do NOT use these with kiddos that are still putting things in their mouth. Also, be sure not to put anything in these that can be harmful to anyone just in case it breaks!**
I filled these with things that I had lying around the house! It was super easy to find things and fill them quick! I also came up with this little gadget to help fill the "bigger stuff".
I took a bottle and cut it apart. Then I put the balloon on the outside of the spout. It kept it open and open wide to squeeze that stuff in.
Pretty snaczzy huh?
It was a big hit! Jackson played for a solid 20 minutes with it, which made me a happy mommy! When he was done, I put them in a bag and then placed it in my "rainy day" tote!
Have you ever tried the balloon activity?? What fun things do you suggest filling it with?
