We have been so excited to make these this summer! They were super easy, we did them in about a half an hour! I used flour, so mine are a little bit more like stress balls, but they can still be used as hacky sacks! The kids had a blast making them and playing with them!
Here are the instructions:
CRAFT MATERIALS:
9 (11-inch) balloons (for 3 balls)
Funnel
2 1/4 cups of dried lentils
Scissors
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Stretch the first balloon by inflating it halfway, holding it closed for about 30 seconds, and deflating it.
2. Place a funnel in the balloon's neck and gradually pour in 3/4 cup of lentils, pushing them in as you go. The balloon should be firm but squeezable.
3. Snip off the balloon's thick rubber lip. Cut the neck off a second balloon and gently stretch the opening.
4. Ease the second balloon over the filled balloon, tucking in the neck as you go.
5. Cut the neck off the third balloon, stretch the opening, and ease it over the other two. Repeat this process to make a set of three balls, or however many you'd like.
Stay tuned...frogs are on the list for tomorrow!!!!

I would have to see that demonstrated in person to figure that one out! I don't have a brain for instructions. My kids would love it though.
