Sponge Ball

We're back from the beach! We had a great time, and we weren't ready to leave :( We didn't do any Montessori work while we were on vacation, but we did several craft projects. I saw this sponge ball on this blog, and I've been wanting to make it ever since. My mom had the same idea, so she bought the materials to take to the beach for an easy craft project. To make the sponge ball cut a sponge long ways into 3 pieces. Then take as many pieces as you like (I used 6), and tie them together at the center using a zip tie. O helped me arrange the sponge pieces, and then she had fun playing with the sponge ball in the pool.

  1. I think I saw the sponge ball on The Crafty Crow this morning, so that might lead you to the site :)

  2. Thanks, Stephanie! I checked out the Crafty Crow, but I got the idea from a different site. I'm going to ask my mom in the morning and hopefully she'll remember where we saw it. Thanks, again!
