Water Bombs... Homemade Style

My kids love to have water fights. Which kids don't, right?! We go through hundreds of water balloons each summer. I don't mind it too much but filling all of those balloons gets kind of old. And it makes my fingers hurt. (My kids are too young to tie them on their own. Or at least that's what they keep telling me. Maybe I'm a giant sucker???) But how can youhave a water fight without water balloons??? Fear not! Here is an easy (and totally cheap) way to make homemade water balloons! No more tieing. No more picking up billions of colorful pieces all over the yard.

What you'll need...
* Sponges (any kind will work. We got ours at the Dollar Tree.)
* String (again, any kind will work.)
Thank's it!

Cut the sponges into strips. You can either cut them the long way or the short (depending ion whether you want bigger water bombs or smaller ones.) Cut each sponge into 3 if you are going the long way.

Now make two layers of sponges (using 6 strips.) Change the colors around if you would like.

And then tie them tight!

There you go.... homemade water bomb!

My kids had a blast playing with these. We had the neighbor kids over for a water fight (since summer has finally arrived to the Pacific Northwest!)

A couple of the kids still wanted water balloons. Do you think this is cheating when they make them this big???
