Anti stress balls

Stress and its relationship to illness is very well known: asthma, obesity, heart problems, headaches  are just  few examples of diseases related to stress. Nowadays it seems everybody is stressed out and, if we want to avoid the illness related to stress and stay healthy,  is advisable to learn different ways to deal with it in our everyday lifes.

One thing  I do when I'm stressed out or anxious, is to squeeze, stretch and crumple my homemade anti-stress balls.  Doing that, helps me to relieve stress and, is fun to shape it into different forms.

Here is how to make it. It is very easy and cheap, so I hope you have fun and "squeeze" out stress  just as I do.

Step 1 Materials

You'll need the following

Balloons: 3 for each ball. I recommend 9" balloons for a medium size ball.
Flour
A spoon
A stick
A funnel
Scissors
Optional:
Wool if you want to make a "hairy" ball

We also made these to be used as juggling balls at circus camp in Atlanta. One thing we learned the hard way... don't use uncooked rice to fill them up. Too sharp, it eventually pokes thru and breaks the latex.
