These DIY stress balls are super easy to make and perfect for fidgeting with at home or on the first day of school.

You’ll Need

  • 2 balloons
  • Scissors
  • Flour
  • Measuring cup
  • Plastic wrap
  • Glue (optional)
  • Markers (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Snip the long neck part off of both balloons.

Step 2: Place ½ cup of flour in plastic wrap and wrap tightly, twisting the plastic wrap to make sure the flour is secured inside of it.

Step 3: Squish the wrapped flour into one of the balloons.

Step 4: Stretch the second balloon over the opening of the first balloon to seal it and create a closed stress ball.

Step 5: For extra sealing, add a tiny bit of glue around the edges of the second balloon hole to keep it tightly in place when you squeeze and squish your DIY stress ball.

Step 6: If you’d like, you can add a pattern, smiley face, or other design to the outside of your stress ball with markers. Ta-da! Your stress ball is ready for the first day of school or whenever you need it.
