klc106 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Has any one made flour babies with their children (balloons with faces filled with flour). I remember having them when I was younger and it was very therapeutic squashing it in my hands and we have a few boys who I think it may help when they get upset/angry. We do have feely balloons in our discovery and have had only had 3 burst over the year. Do you think the balloons will be strong enough as a tension reliever for our boys? Hope that makes sense :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 We used to make rice balls at rainbows- they were very 'squeezy' never thought to do it with a younger age group. Our lot burst balloons within minutes of having them :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finleysmaid Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 made these years ago for a fathers day activity! actually they don't pop very easily because they are so dense ...always sent them home though so i don't know how long they would last in the setting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just balloons filled with flour- as you realise when they pop! They look great! Now I am probably being a bit 'dense' here but how do you fill a balloon with flour?! You wouldn't get much in an 'un-blown' balloon ... I need an idiots guide :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
