Mom to Mom: Sponge water bomb

(41NBC/WMGT) — It’s summertime and those kids really love to play outside with those water balloons. The problem is they’re expensive, messy, and it’s hard to fill. So, this replacement that we have for you today is the opposite of all those things. It’s cheap and it’s wonderful, we call them Sponge Water Bombs. The reason why is because it’s sponges and they look like little balloons that you just throw at one another. So, here’s how you make them. We recommend you go and buy eight sponges to cut them up and make these Sponge Water Bombs.

So, what you want to do is take one sponge and cut it into six pieces, along each edge. You can pair them with different colors if you want to and then you line them all up into six pieces and then layer it with another six. And then you’re going to take a rubber band or string, whatever works best for you, and then bind them all together. And now you’re ready to play with your nice little Sponge Water Bombs. You just get a bucket of water. You can get one for each kid or just one for them to grab out of it, throw these in there, send your kiddos outside and let them have at it. The thing is, is they’ll never run out of these puppies. They might run out of water though.
