Color My World Challenge #7: Pink Water Sponge Toy! 02/18/2010
2 Comments
 
  Ok, I admit it... this 'creative' project took me all of... 45 seconds to do!  Which doesn't really reflect well on my 'artistic' ability, but it may be a great time saver and entertaining thing for kids to do!  I saw the idea here, and bought supplies to make a bunch of them.  They would make a neat treat for a birthday party favor or just for your kids to have water fights outside with this summer!

Supplies Needed:
                                             -4 Rectangle Sponges
              (packs can be found almost anywhere including the dollar store!)
                                               -Plastic Zip-Ties
                                                   (Walmart)
                                                    -Scissors
That's it! Simple, Fun, and Fast!

Cut the sponges into strips of 3-4 the long way, depending on the size.  Make them close to 1" wide.

Put them sponges all together and squeeze them tight in the middle.
Tie them together with a zip-tie as tightly as you can.

  Spread the ends around and make it look somewhat round.  There are so many ways you could use this idea and make them super cute! Like adding a little bath toy onto it and using it for a scrubby in the tub... or making it into a flower type design and use it as a accent on a gift (especially for kids!)... and the list goes on an on!  And since I have been wanting to share this idea and happened to have some PINK sponges on hand... ah ha!  I'll just 'cheat' and do something super easy! I mean, who said the challenge had to be something hard that takes 3 days to finish!?  :)

I think the challenge is more about using the colors than how hard it is. I say if you can do something that cute in 10 minutes why spend 10 hours!
