Volunteer Club made a whole batch of stress balls to donate to a local agency that supports homeless teenagers and families who need counseling. I think they turned out so cute and they are affordable to make too. You need balloons, playdough, and a permanent marker. Our playdough was from the 'dollar store' which has four little tubs for a dollar and a pack of balloons and permanent markers from WalMart is about a dollar each adding up to $3 cost to be able to make about five of these. First get a partner. One person stretches the balloon open and his/her partner should push in small chunks of playdough, about 3/4 of the tub worked best. Next stretch open another balloon and put the filled one inside it so that it has been doubled for durability. Tie it off. Make a jack-o-lantern face with the marker or if you do this later in the year it could be left plain. Now squeeze your stress away!
