Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ok, here's how we made the fidgit balls for Olivia, actually we made them for the whole class since everyone at one time or another needs to keep their hands busy!! Only 2 ingredients! *Small to medium balloon (whichever fits nicely in your childs hand and isnt' too big) *Flour With a funnel pour about 2 tbsp. of flour into the balloon. Knot it off tightly close to the flour. Take the opening end of the balloon and pull it back over the bulb with the flour in it. You get a perfectly shaped and supple fidgit ball that is very much like the large ones in the stores for adults. For variations we put rice and sugar in some of them for a different texture and the kids really seem to like them. It's great OT therapy and keeps their hands very occupied. Hope that it works well for all of you as well.
