HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN STRESS BALLS

STEP 1. First, you need to blow up a balloon and hold it for 30 seconds. This will help pre-stretch the balloon before you fill it.

STEP 2. There are a couple of ways to fill the balloons. You can use a funnel for fine ingredients like flour. You can also use an extra set of hands to stretch the top of the balloon to fill with materials like playdough or corn kernels. It takes a bit of work to fill the balloons, so don’t give up if it doesn’t go quickly!

Our Halloween calm down balls have held up pretty well! My son loves to throw them on the floor hard and none of them have burst yet. His absolute favorite one is corn starch. We keep our set on the kitchen counter in a basket!

Calm down balls can provide great tactile sensory input for kids and adults helping to relieve stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, and general grumpiness. We use them when we are happy too! Who doesn’t love to squeeze something! Our pumpkin stress balls are the perfect squeeze!
